 Gloria O'Neill (Minnesota) says:
This recipe seems to be normal compared to what I do. However these are comments that could savor the flavor and add richness to any recipe for corned beef dinner. Suggestion: For 3 to 4 lb. roast, add 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar to water that nearly covers the roast in a roasting pan. Add spices to the water then add 1/2 cup brown sugar and sprinkle on top of the meat. At 1 hour intervals turn roast over to keep very moist. Bake at 350°F for 50 minutes per pound.
