For our St. Patrick’s Day dinner I decided to make a Baked Corned Beef, boiled potatoes and some fried cabbage (recipe to follow). The boys thoroughly enjoyed both of them.

These are the ingredients I used.

The first thing I did was to remove the corned beef from it’s package and give it a good rinse under the tap before placing it on a lightly greased piece of aluminum foil.

In a small bowl I mixed together both mustards and the pickling spice.

I spread this evenly over the top of the piece of corned beef…

And then sprinkled the brown sugar over top of the mustard mixture before wrapping it fully in aluminum foil, “tenting the foil” to make sure it wasn’t touching the top of the corned beef.

I placed the foil wrapped corned beef in a baking pan and let it cooked for about 2 1/2 hours at 350 degrees. opening up the aluminum foil during the last ten minutes to allow topping to crisp up. Here it is straight out of the oven ready to cut.

I sort of sliced it before I dished it out with the fried cabbage and boiled potatoes!
