Cook's Note
If making the day before, prepare the recipe through step 3; slice the brisket, return it to the baking dish with the sauce, and refrigerate, covered with plastic. To serve, reheat brisket in its sauce in a 300-degree oven, skipping step 4.
i made and served this brisket recipe for sedar, and found that the taste was absolutely fabulous. and i have a tradiitonal kosher home. ( i would never have guessed that it would have worked with the addition of vinegar, (after it was cooked there was no taste or smell of vinegar) but it was great!
sorry this brisket recipe is quite unusual for Passover. missing the old fashioned taste of pot roast that was brought to European ovens in local villages. Not typical but sounds more like a brisket found in a modern non-Jewish household.
I made this brisket for Seder - easy to prepare and most favorably received. Thanks!!
Sounds like something I could easily make for Easter dinner. Thank you.
