SERVES 8
- 1 envelope onion soup mix
- 1 1/2 cups Burgundy wine
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon dried basil

- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 lbs beef brisket
- 1 lb mushroom, cut into quarters
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- In a roaster into which the brisket fits comfortably, stir together the soup mix, wine, water and flour until blended.
- Stir in the basil, thyme, marmalade, orange peel, sugar, garlic and pepper.
- Add the brisket, spooning some of the sauce over the top and distributing the mushrooms evenly around the brisket.

- Pour the sauce over the meat and heat in the oven until hot and bubbly.
- Serve to thankful guests.
