~----------------- Trim excess fat from beef brisket and brown on
both sides in fat in Dutch oven. Pour off drippings. Add onions, 1/4
c brown sugar, salt and pepper. Stir in boiling water. Cover and
bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F.) for 2 hours. Add yams,
carrots, apples, white potatoes and 1/4 c brown sugar; continue
cooking, covered, 30 minutes. Remove cloves from onions. Combine
sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, catsup, cornstarch and mustard in small
saucepan.
Drain Mandarin Oranges reserving liquid. Stir liquid into sugar
mixture and cook over medium heat until sauce boils. Add madarin
oranges. Spoon about half of the sauce over meat. Continue cooking,
uncovered, about 30 minutes or until meat is very tender, basting
with sauce occasionally. Carve meat diagonally across the grain and
place on platter with vegetables. Spoon remaining hot sauce over
meat and vegetables. Garnish with parsley flakes or fresh parsley.
NOTE: Brisket also can be simmered on top of range until tender or
can be cooked in a pressure cookier according to manufacturer's
directions.
