Corned beef is one of my 100's of favorite foods. Just made some yesterday. I always throw in the little spice packet that comes with it. Then
I put my own stuff in. Only approximate measurements, I'm a guy ya know.
1 heaping Tbls of dill weed
1/2 Tbls of ginger, no, not the redhead, the spice
1/2 Tbls of Colmans dry mustard
Couple of bay leaves
1 heaping Tbls caraway seeds
I've seen where it's been suggested, once the beef has simmered 2 1/2 hours, to pour out the water, and add fresh, bring to a boil, then add taters, onions, carrots, and finally the cabbage once the taters are done. I don't change the water, can't see why one would throw all those good spices away, they're for eatin' too!!
Does anyone know what those spice packets have in them? There isn't much in them.
