Home-Cured Corned Beef
Ingredients
1 - 4-6 lb brisket (preferably flat cut)
1 gallon water
2 cups Diamond Crystal Kosher salt or 1 1/2 cup Morton's Kosher salt
3 Tbsp pickling spice
5 tsp pink salt, also called Prague powder (pickling salt, not Himalayan pink salt)
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 small cinnamon stick
Preparation
In a large pot, bring all ingredients to a boil, then immediately remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until well chilled. In a container large enough to submerge brisket, place brisket and enough brine to cover completely. Refrigerate 5-6 days or until meat turns pink. Remove from brine just before cooking.
