If this isn't a 5 star I don't know what is. I made this and had my neighbors over and it got "Ohhh this is good" all around the table. Even thier little 5 year old son was wolfing down the turnips. They were so tender he thought they were potatos. I do believe this will be our St. Pat's day dinner from now on. And anyother time I can get a nice package of corned beef. Thank you for a great recipe and sharing it. Chuck

Very tender and flavor packed. I made this as directed, but next time I won't use rutabagas. I gave them a try but found them not to my liking. Everything else was great. I doubled the amount of corned beef because we had a crowd coming, and all but two slices were gobbled up.

Apple juice used to cook corned beef???? Don't know why I decided to try this 'cause it sounded so strange to me. I love all the veggies he suggested but don't use rutabaga's or turnips in my corned beef. This was hands down the BEST tasting corned beef I have ever eaten, and I cooked it!!!! Thanks Lennie for the GREAT dinner!!!! ked

I made this for St. Patrick's Day this year. The only changes I made was that I substituted extra carrots for the parsnips and rutabagas. My DH who isn't Irish doesn't care for them but loves cooked carrots. It's been a slow prodding over the past 45 years to get him to actually enjoy corned beef. I had never cooked the dish with apple juice and brown sugar before. It was a wonderful addition to the flavor. I haven't eaten the dish as a soup yet, which is my favorite way to eat the left-overs, so do not know if I will like the broth that way as well...BUT the flavor of the meat and the vegatbles simmered in the juice was heavenly, oh my it was good!!!! Thanks for a great recipe. I will cook the cabbage for less next time since I like mine almost ala-dente' but that was my fault not yours. By the way my DH commented that 'Dinner was really good'...high praise from a guy who rarely says anything positive about food and just eats it if he likes it.

This is the best corned beef dinner I have ever made - the meat was extremely tener. My husband went back for thirds!! The change I made was to reduce the salt to 1 1/2 teap. salt. Thanks Lennie!
