Corned Beef and Cabbage

1 3-4 lb corned beef. Throw away the nasty spice sack that came with it 2-3 onions, peeled 1 bunch of carrots, scrubbed, trimmed and cut in half crosswise 1 cabbage, outer layer removed, quartered (keep stem in). Try pushing a toothpick through the leaves to keep them together while cooking 4-5 potatoes, scrubbed (red, boiling, don't really care. Stay away from baking) 4-5 cloves of garlic 10-12 whole peppercorns 1 bay leaf 10 or so mustard seeds 2-3 cloves Some will also use a few juniper berries. Not me, but you can 1) Cover the beef with 1" of water and bring to a boil 2) Reduce heat to a very slow bubble, and all but the carrots, cabbage and potatoes 3) Cook for 2 hours, turning the beef every 20 minutes or so 4) Add boiling water to keep beef covered 5) Add vegetables after 2 hours 6) After 30 minutes, check veggies every 5 minutes or so, and remove when done (soft). Cabbage will likely take longest. 7) Keep cooking until beef is fork tender on both side
