- ½ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons pickling spice, divided
- 2 quarts hot water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°. Line a large roasting pan with foil.
- Rinse brisket with cold water, and pat dry. Place brisket, fat side up, in prepared pan. In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar and Dijon until smooth. Spread onto brisket, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon pickling spice. Pour 2 quarts water and remaining 2 tablespoons pickling spice around brisket.
