LACE CURTAIN CORNED BEEF Prepare 4 pounds of brisket of corned beef in your accustomed manner, soaking it or not (I usually do not soak) according to your lights. Put it in a kettle, cover with cold water, bring to a boil and skim if necessary. Add 2 unpeeled oranges cut in quarters, 1 sliced lemon (large), 2 quartered onions, 1/2 cup of brown sugar and a handful of pickling spices, cloves, allspice, cinnamon and such. Simmer until tender, about 4 hours. Remove and drain the meat, cover it with moistened brown sugar and place it in a slow oven (300 degrees) until the sugar melts. Serves eight. Excellent! I often get the beef in packets; it means there is less fat, but enough for flavor.
