I have to plan my Passover menu. This year instead of chicken (Passover falls on the Sabbath this year) I would like to do a Beef Brisket.
I remember an old recipe but not exactly... can anyone help? It would be baked for 3 hours, refrigerated overnight then taken out the next day, sliced thin... add cranberry sauce +???, and bake another hour. I don't know what ingredients go in the first bake, and what goes into the second bake. I am not sure I have all the needed ingredients listed.
Ingredients I know about:
Can of Coke or RC
Mushrooms
Onions
Garlic
Cranberry sauce
Kosher for Passover instant onion soup mix
Kosher salt and ground pepper
Olive oil
I looked online...I find cranberry brisket, or soda brisket or Mushroom...but not altogether. Maybe I'm crazy and mixed a bunch of recipes up.

Not sure about all those ingredients together, but my mom makes a fantastic brisket using red wine, red horseradish and cranberry sauce all mixed together. I can get the exact recipe if you're interested.

Yes...I'm interested. I don't want a recipe nobody ever tried, which is all I can get online. I would feel so much better knowing I have one to use if I can't find the other...Blessings, thanks for your help.

I'm seeing her tonight. I'll try and get it then... Tried and true through many years of Seders and Rosh Hashanah dinners!

If you have a covered dutch oven or large casserole dish that can go in the oven, use it, other wise use a large pot with a cover on the stovetop
5-6 lb brisket
1 can whole cranberry sauce
1 cup beef broth
12 cup dry red wine
2 tsp cinnamon
18 tsp ground cloves
Flour
Salt
Pepper
Coat the meat in flour, salt and pepper mix. Sear on both sides in a little oil. Mix all other ingredients and pour over meat. Cook in oven at 350 for around 3 hours. On stovetop, bring to boil then reduce to simmer for around 2.5 hours. Take the meat out and let cool for around a 15 minutes before serving so it doesnt shred apart and you can get good slices. Cover with hot gravy and enjoy!

Flour? On Passover....Potato flour Okay?
Thank you...I will copy this out and put in my little box for safe keeping. We found the one I was looking for, so now to ask the family which they want me to try this year. I always made chicken. Cinnamon and cloves...it must smell like Heaven as it cooks.

Potato flower should be fine, or you could probably leave it out altogether. You only use it to help get a good sear on the outside of the meat.

Here you go...both sounds pretty good don't they.
Janet's Brisket Recipe
Purchase kosher brisket or first cut. (cooking time for a 9 lb brisket)
Cut up 5 onions ( like onion rings), place aside.
Season meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder or season salt
2 packages of dry onion soup mix. Rub one package on each side of brisket.
2 cans of whole cranberries, add one on the bottom and one on top of the brisket. (You can also add a bottle of chili sauce over top.)
Cover brisket with chopped onions.
After all is assembled in roaster, add one can of RC cola or coke over the top.
Bake at 325 degrees for 3-4 hours till tender, depending on size of brisket.
Let cool, then drain gravy and put gravy in separate container and refrigerate. Wrap brisket in foil and put in another container in refrigerator. Refrigerate over night.
Next day cut fat off of brisket and skim any fat off of gravy, Slice brisket thin against the grain. Sautee fresh mushrooms in worcestershire sauce.
Add brisket to gravy in large pan and make sure gravy is in between each piece. Add sauteed mushrooms to brisket and gravy and reheat for one hour.

LOL...Do post how you like it. I won't be cooking mine until Thursday night and finish up on Friday.
Right now is cleaning time...I have all the leavened goods in boxes. Tomorrow is the beginning of scrub the kitchen down...I have to wash the cabinets, the refrigerator...kosher the stove...the counter tops...etc...etc...the last week is the hardest. I have all my Passover pots, pans and dishes in storage all sealed, so that saves me lots of work. Just get the tubs from the garage and unpack everything after the house is ready.

I will post the results. It smells good, but instead of smelling like a roast cooking, it smells more like a desert thing - with the cinnamon and cran.. I just pulled it out for the nite - it's been 3.5 hours - fairly tender but another hour tomorrow will do it.

So, what did you think?
Flower, your recipe that you posted sounds great too, although maybe ending up a little salty with all that onion soup mix?

Well the test will be on Passover this Friday night. I have been cleaning, and what I can't do myself I oversee a lady I hired to help me. I hate being crippled up and can't do for myself like I want to. It does sound like an awful lot of salt. I don't have packages, I have a Kosher onion soup base and will use it as a rub on the Brisket. With all that onion I won't need dried onion as well. So I will have to tweak the recipe...the one you sent sounds super good too. LOL...so I haven't really decided on which to try this year. I have never cooked a brisket for Passover, so I'm nervous.
I do make an awesome Matzo ball soup...I have been told by a few people that my soup was the best they ever had. I add chicken to my broth is all...LOL...all my friends make it with broth only.

My dad always made the best chicken soup. He just put 2-3 whole chickens in a pot with water, onions, carrots and celery and cooked it all down for a few hours. Then take the chicken out, remove all the bones and cartilage and put the chicken back in the soup. Really easy..

LOL...thats how Mother makes the chicken for the dogs. She saves the stock sometimes for chicken and rice... or dumplings when the grandkids come to visit. I can't get her to just give them raw chicken...and she gives them hotdogs and slim Jims for treats. It doesn't hurt the spoiled dogs, and it makes her happy, so I quit fighting her over it, but she is not allowed to cook chicken unless I'm home to supervise...she falls asleep.
Sorry, I didn't realize how bad that sounds...LOL..I was only saying how spoiled my dogs are because I know how good that type of soup is.

My new over has a Sabbath mode. Couldn't help but laugh when I read what that's all about.
My oven also has a Sabbath mode..the read out even says Sabbath. LOL... I had to get out the book before and after Sabbath to set it all up or stop the mode. I had no patients...after a couple of times I just unplug it and reset the clock each week, it was easier. My mother always forgets what day it is so if I don't want her to turn on the stove, I have to do something.
