1 corned beef brisket
1 large head cabbage
8 peppercorns
6 cloves garlic, whole peeled
2 bay leaves
1 pound carrots, peeled
6 large potatoes
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
3 whole cloves
1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1/4 tsp black pepper, ground

Wash brisket and then cut small X slits in the meat and put in garlic and cloves (pcs).

Put meat into a stockpot (Large-at least 8 qts). Cover meat with water and add bay leaves, peppercorns, Old Bay seasoning, 2 carrots and sliced celery. Then bring to a boil, skim off the foam and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer 2-3 hours 
(or until meat is almost tender).

While your meat cooks, prepare your vegetables. Quarter the cabbage, peel potatoes, and carrots and then slice vegetables into 2-in chunks.

During last half hour of simmering, 
add remaining vegetables and 
cook until all are tender.

 Drain pot contents.  Can serve with yellow mustard.
