Summerset Mead St. Patty's Day Corned Beef

INGREDIENTS

4 pounds corned beef brisket
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 - 1 bottle Summerset Mead

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Rinse the beef completely and pat dry.
Place the brisket on rack in a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Rub the brown sugar on the corned beef to coat entire beef, including the bottom. Pour 1/2 of the bottle of Mead around, and gently over the beef to wet the sugar.
Cover, and place in preheated oven. Bake for 2 1/2 hours. Allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing.
During the last hour, you may put vegetables in the roasting pan as well. Try a wedge of cabbage, new potatoes, onion, carrots, etc. You'll need to add a little more Mead with your vegetables.
