Crock Pot Corned Beef

The crock pot is the perfect way to cook corned beef -- a dinner James loves. All I have to do is pile in little red potatoes, the meat coated in a spread of mustard and brown sugar, thick wedges of cabbage, a couple carrots, a stalk of celery, a handful of peppercorns, 2 bay leaves, all covered in a bottle of beer. That cooks for 10 hours on low in the slow moist heat of my trusty crock pot. Once the meat is cooked, we remove the meat, pour on a glaze made of 1 cup of orange marmalade, 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of dijon mustard and pop it in a 350º over for 30 minutes.
