RECIPE
4 lbs (2kg) corned beef
1/4 cup (85g) honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large head of Cabbage
1 Yellow Onion
2 Leeks
2 cups (475ml) beef broth
1 teaspoon salt
1 optional teaspoon of pepper
Boil the corned beef for 1 minute. Drain and repeat at least one more time. Mix the honey and salt together and coat the corned beef. Wrap the corned beef in aluminum foil and set in a dish or roasting pan. Roast in the oven at 325°F/165°C for approximately 1 hour per pound. 30 minutes before it is finished, open the foil to let darken.
For the cabbage, quarter the cabbage, dice the onion and leek. Place all of the ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil on the stove. Reduce to a simmer and cover. Let cook for 25-30 minutes.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
