Corned Beef and Cabbage

Cooking time:   2 - 3 hours for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

        This is the traditional Irish-American celebration dish for St. Patrick's Day.  I don't recall seeing corned beef in Ireland during the year that we lived there.  In Ireland it would be more commonly made with a slab of bacon or ham.  And, to be truthful, I used ham as corned beef is not available here.  I know St. Paddy's is tomorrow, but corned beef takes a while to cook - and we have the leftovers for Corned Beef Hash tomorrow night!  

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Total time: 3 hours  for corned beef;    60 minutes for ham
      The traditional 'boiled dinner' for St. Patrick's day!  Corned Beef normally comes in packages of about 3 lbs, so be prepared for sandwiches (or guests).  There are enough vegetables to use in Corned Beef Hash for the leftovers....
