Apple Beef Brisket from the Frugal Gourmet Cooks American

1 beef brisket (4 to 5 lb), trimmed of fat
1 large yellow onion, peeled and quartered
2 large cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
10 cloves garlic, whole
1 jar (10 oz) apple jelly
1/3 cup dry white wine
3 tbsp dijon mustard (Grey Poupon is fine)
2 green onions, chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon curry powder
1 cup apple juice
1/4 cup chopped parsley, for garnish

Place the brisket, onion, chopped garlic and garlic cloves in a large Dutch oven. Add water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 2 1/2 hours or until the brisket is tender. Drain brisket. (If you wish, you could keep the brisket covered with the cooking liquid and refrigerate it overnight. This will help prepare for the next day.)

In a small saucepan, mix together the apple jelly, wine, mustard, green onions, salt, pepper, and curry powder. Heat until the jelly melts. (This can be done in the microwave in just minutes.)

Place brisket in a shallow roasting pan and brush some of the jelly mixture over the top. Bake at 325 degrees F. for 45 minutes, basting 3 or 4 times with the remaining jelly mixture.

Remove the meat to a platter to keep warm. Place the pan on a hot burner and deglaze with the apple juice. Reduce the juice for amoment and place in a gravy boat. Serve alongside the meat. Slice meat and serve with parsley Garnish. Makes 8 servings
