\"How<\/p>\n

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live. ~\u00a0Norman Cousins<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

This homemade Corned Beef recipe comes just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. I think we need to take advantage of any ritual and celebration these days and create our own when inspiration strikes. \u00a0Fin, my 11-year-old, said recently, “Mom ritual gives me certainty.” It really struck me!<\/p>\n

He named something for me that I definitely experience and want to foster, especially when things feel unknown and security is elusive. \u00a0I am often floored by the wisdom that flows from my kids.<\/p>\n

I am inspired to create more rituals in our family rhythms. \u00a0These acknowledged occasions give us a place and time to come together and memories to share. \u00a0So, we will have a St. Patrick’s Day celebration with a nod to my husband’s Irish heritage! \u00a0We will be creating a meal that will include this home-cured corned beef brisket.<\/p>\n

What is Corned Beef?<\/h2>\n

Corned Beef is made from beef brisket, which is cured in a salt and spice brine ( much like a pickle brine) for a week before being slow-cooked in a slow cooker, until tender and falling apart. Nitrate-free corned beef or “naturally cured” corned beef uses “natural” nitrates (in this case, celery juice) as a healthy alternative.<\/p>\n
