Homemade Corned Beef Recipe
It's easy to make your own corned beef at home!. Just plan ahead!. The beef brisket will take about 3 weeks to cure!. You can also use bottom round roast in place of brisket, if you wish!.
Ingredients:
4 quarts water
1 cup salt
1 teaspoon saltpeter (see note 1 below)
2 beef briskets, about 4 pounds each (see note 2 below)
12 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons pickling spices
8 bay leaves
Preparation:
Boil water!. Add salt and saltpeter, stir to dissolve and set aside to cool!. Place brisket in a large crock, zipper-style plastic bag or other non-metallic container!. Pour salt water over meat and add garlic, pickling spices and bay leaves!. Meat should be submerged; use a weighted jar to hold meat under pickling solution!. Refrigerate or set in a cool place for 3 weeks!. Drain and remove bay leaves before cooking!.
Note 1: Saltpeter is known commercially as potassium nitrate and is used to give the meat a pink coloring!.
Note 2: Bottom round roasts may be substituted for the brisket for a leaner corned beef!.

Oh boy, that's a great question! I buy mine with the spice packet included (though I doctor it up a bit) and it's in a brine solution!. I know my grandmas used to make them from scratch!. Let me look in my books and see if I can come up with a recipe!.

Shine has it!.
I also brine the turkey for 36 hours!. About 6-8 quarts of water (enough to cover turkey), 1 cup salt, 1 cup sugar and 1/2 bottle Jack Daniels!. Heat the water so the salt and sugar dissolve completely, then cool before adding booze and bird!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
