Missing an Ingredient

Inspiring Pretty

Hellooooo, I'm having a lazy Sunday morning and was watching WFSB.  They were cooking a brisket which of course I have in my freezer from the lovely Jonathan Page from Salt Marsh Farm.  Well, went to look for the recipe on their website which I could not find but I did find the following.  I know we have a page with lots of this information but Christmas time is cooking time so I thought it might be useful for you all to have right up front.  So if you are missing an ingredient try these...
