  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      cups          water
     1/4  cup           honey
   2      tablespoons   Dijon mustard -- divided
   1      medium        cabbage head -- cut into 8 wedges
   3      tablespoons   butter or margarine -- softened
   1 1/2  teaspoons     fresh dill -- chopped OR
     1/2  teaspoon      dried dill weed
   2 1/2  pounds        corned beef brisket

Place brisket and water in Dutch oven;  cover tightly and cook 1 hour at 
350  degrees (F).  (  It is very important to simmer the meat  slowly  
because boiling will cause meat to become  tough.) Turn brisket over and 
continue cooking,  covered,  1  1/2  to  2 hours,   or until meat is 
tender.  Remove brisket  from  cooking liquid  and  place,   flat-side up, 
 on rack in broiler  pan  so surface of meat is 3 to 4 inches from heat. 
Combine  honey with 1 tablespoon mustard;  brush half of mixture over  top 
of brisket and broil 3 minutes.  Brush with  remaining mixture  and 
continue broiling 2 minutes,  or until  brisket  is glazed.  Meanwhile,  
steam cabbage 15  to 20  minutes,  or until tender.  Combine remaining 
mustard with butter and dill;  spread over  hot cabbage wedges.  Carve 
brisket diagonally  across  the grain into thin slices and serve with 
cabbage.
