HOW TO COOK CORN BEEF
Wash the beef in cold water and then place in a saucepan and cover
with cold water. Bring to a boil and turn into a colander, and let
cold water run on the meat. Place a saucepan on the stove and fill
with boiling water, and add
One carrot, cut in dice,
Two onions, with one clove stuck in each onion,
One bay leaf and,
The meat.
Bring to a boil and cook slowly, allowing the meat to cook thirty
minutes to start and then twenty minutes to the pound, gross weight.
Then remove the saucepan from the fire when the meat is cooked and
allow the meat to cool in the liquid, with the lid removed. When cool,
remove and place at once in the ice box. Serve cold.

economical cut. Have the butcher bone the meat, but do not roll. Put
in a pickle for six days. Remove and wash and then tie securely, and
cook in the same manner as for corned beef.
