Sweet Brisket image

This is my Jewish mother-in-law's recipe for brisket. My kids call it "Magic Meat", so tasty. Need to plan in advance; tastes even better if allowed to marinate overnight before baking.

Time 4h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 -6 lbs fresh unsalted beef brisket (Not Corned)
onion powder
garlic powder
black pepper
2 (1 1/4 ounce) envelopes onion soup mix
4 cups water
24 ounces apricot jam
2 cups ketchup

Steps:

  • Heavily season the brisket with powders and pepper.
  • Place the brisket on a rack inside a large roasting pan. Add water to the bottom of the pan to prevent burning and to make for easier cleaning. Broil the brisket for approximately 10 minutes on each side.
  • Meanwhile, dissolve onion soup in 4 cups boiling water.
  • Add apricot jam and ketchup and stir until ingredients are blended.
  • After broiling the brisket, place the brisket in a deep, narrow oven-safe pan. Pour the apricot mixture over the brisket, so that the brisket is covered.
  • Bake for 2-3 hours at 350 degrees or until tender.
  • Cool. Slice. Put back into sauce and allow the flavors to blend overnight. Reheat in oven when ready to serve.
