PREPARATION TIME: 15 minutes
COOKING TIME: Slow-cook 8 hours
DIRECTIONS
1. Combine potatoes, carrots and onions in slow cooker. Add corned beef, beer, cloves, brown sugar and peppercorns. Pour in enough water to cover meat and vegetables.
2. Cook, covered, on LOW for 10 to 12 hours or on HIGH for 6 to 8 hours or until vegetables are tender. Remove meat from cooking liquid and place on baking sheet. Transfer vegetables to platter and keep warm. Pour cooking liquid into large saucepan over medium-high heat. If too salty, discard some of the liquid and replace with fresh water, adjusting saltiness to taste. Add cabbage and bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until cabbage is tender.
3. Spoon Marmalade Glaze over corned beef and place under preheated broiler, 6 inches (15 cm) from heat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Thinly slice beef across the grain and place on platter with vegetables.
Marmalade Glaze: Combine 1/2 cup (125 mL) orange marmalade and 2 tbsp (30 mL) EACH Dijon mustard and packed brown sugar.

TIP
Use a 5- to 6-quart (5 to 6 L) slow cooker for this recipe. If you have a 3-1/2 to 4-quart (3 to 4 L) cooker, cut the brisket in pieces to fit.
The cabbage is cooked separately after meat is finished so it won’t impart its strong flavor to the other vegetables.
