Ingredients

• 3 pounds corned beef brisket
• 8 cups water
• 2 tablespoons pickling spice
• 0.5 cups honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the corned beef brisket under cold water to remove excess brine and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a large pot, place the corned beef brisket and add water until it is fully submerged (approximately 8 cups).

Step 3

Add the pickling spice to the pot, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover tightly.

Step 4

Simmer the corned beef for about 3 hours or until it is tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, and garlic powder to form the glaze.

Step 7

Remove the cooked corned beef from the pot and place it in the prepared baking dish. Discard the cooking liquid or save it for another use.

Step 8

Generously brush the honey glaze over the entire surface of the corned beef.

Step 9

Transfer the corned beef to the oven and roast, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, basting with additional glaze halfway through, until the glaze is caramelized and bubbling.

Step 10

Remove the corned beef from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin pieces.

Step 11

Serve the honey glazed corned beef warm with your favorite sides and enjoy!
