Glazed Corned Beef

Ingredients:

• 4 pounds of corned beef brisket

• one cup of water

• one cup of apricot preserves

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• pepper to taste

Directions:

Wash the corned beef and place it in a baking dish. Add the water, and then cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake the beef at 350 degrees for about two hours.

Combine the apricot preserves, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Spread the glaze evenly over the corned beef.

Bake the uncovered beef at 350 degrees for another 25 to 30 minutes. Baste occasionally with pan drippings.

Always slice corned beef against the grain.
