[Sca-cooks] Corned beef

[Johnna Holloway]

I always use the recipes out of Firth's Stillroom Cookery
or use those out of Fitzgibbon's Irish cookbook if I am making it.
This year we came across and excellent looking one at Plum Market so
I just bought one. I just simmer it on low heat until done. Took about 5 
hours this year.
