Maple-Glazed Corned Beef image

Corned beef gets a touch of sweetness with a maple syrup glaze. Even people who say they don't care for corned beef will ask for seconds when served this one. This recipe was passed down from my great-grandmother.-Gayle Macklin, Vail, Arizona Teacher, Corona Foothills Middle School, Vail, Arizona
