Excellent and simple recipe. The pickling spice has all the flavor needed for this recipe, including cloves! I only add a few potatoes the last hour of cooking. Thanks for posting! -
This is in no way shape or form traditional Irish corned beef -
Try adding 1/2 tsp. of ground cloves and a couple of bay leaves to the water.
