1 head cabbage (1 ½ pounds), cut into 6 wedges

4 ounces baby carrots

1 corned beef brisket (3 pounds) with seasoning packet

4 cups water

1/3 cup prepared mustard (optional)

1/3 cup honey (optional)

Place cabbage in slow cooker, if cabbage is large, you may not use all of it. Top with carrots.

Cut open seasoning packet and sprinkle on top of vegetables. Place corned beef brisket, fat side up, over seasoning and vegetables. Add water. Cover and cook on LOW for 10 hours.

Remove corned beef and vegetables. To get the most tender and attractive slices, corned beef should be sliced on the diagonal and against the grain. Just before serving, combine mustard and honey in small bowl and use as a dipping sauce, if desired.
