Nice method and description! Homemade is always superior to store bought. And you can be sure the store bought version doesn't use high quality local brisket. You can save time getting the brine ready by mixing all the salt and seasonings with about 1/3 of the total water and bring to a boil. Then add the rest of the water and it you can use the brine right away. I usually try to use 2 to 1 water to meat ratio for the brine.
So impressed you made corned beef from scratch and from your local farm 💪 I always wondered how complicated it would be. Also, simply recipes has a great twist baking corned beef with cloves and hot honey mustard that gives it a little something extra

Thank you for the extra tips! Indeed, the flavor had nothing to do with other commercial corned beef I had tried before!
I have seen pre-made corned beef at the grocery store. I'm sure the meal you made from scratch tasted much better!
Thank you Lala! It was much easier than I thought! Give it a try! ☺️

Thank you! I saw many recipes with a twist, but I wanted to try a more traditional approach. It was much easier than I had envisioned!
