1.Pat the corned beef dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle the corned beef with pepper.

Remove Corn Beef and place on a rack, coat the Corn Beef with the mustard sauce. Place in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Baste with mustard sauce every 10 minutes.
Mustard Sauce
Place brown sugar, water and mustard in a small sauce pan. Heat until all ingredients are well blended and sugar is dissolved.
Another great recipe by my daughter Carrie. I can remember a few years back for her husbands birthday she put on a great smorgasbord and the hit of the night was “meat pops.” This recipe is too classy to be give a moniker like meat pops but so so good for that special meal.
Some of you have met my youngest Jamie at various farmers market and know she likes to cook as much as her sister and I do! She doesn’t have much spare time these days but when she does she can knock out a great recipe to share.
