***Collins' receipe for corned beef & cabbage

- Cook corned beef in water until soft, then cook some more (I used 7 lbs of beef, took about 3 1/2 hours)
- Put glaze on top (I used dijon mustard, clover honey & Smith & Wollensky steak sauce) then broil in oven for few minutes until slightly carmelized on top
- at the same cook the cabbage in the same water that cooked the corned beef
- Serve hot at once with some fresh bacon crumbles on the cabbage
