    Yesterday was Blizzard of 2017 here in the Northeast. 22 inches or more throughout my area, the streets and sidewalks are nowhere near cleared, and I don't see school starting again before Monday. What I'm saying here is I'm going nuts and send wine, please!

    I love corned beef, but I usually only make it once or twice a year. When I made it this year I wanted something a little different. I've never gotten fancy with corned beef, just put it in the slow cooker covered in water and the spice packet. No cabbage or potatoes with it for me. I've never liked cabbage and prefer potatoes cooked separately. So, I decided to make my corned beef different by making it sweeter.

    Since I decided I wanted to make a sweetened corned beef at pretty much the last minute I had to go with what I had on hand to do it. I was going to do brown sugar, but then I remembered I had thrown mine out a few weeks ago because it was hard and past it's expiration date. The apple juice came from juice boxes for the kids. Don't judge, that's how this delicious Slow Cooker Honey Apple Corned Beef came about.

    The corned beef is sweet, but not overly sweet, you can taste the honey, but it isn't sticky. I did include the spice packet to give it a little kick. Then it just simmers in the slow cooker for 5-6 hours until tender. I did include the carrots pictured in the slow cooker, so truthfully mine was 4 ingredients (not including the spice packet). The carrots are a package of rainbow baby carrots that I thought looked good in the grocery store. Any kind of carrots would do, or just leave them out. I'm sure you could substitute cabbage, if you like it.

      I'm making this purely based on your sense humor. Made me chuckle when you said the apple juice came from a juice box (we call them poppers in Australia) but I do have an apple juice popper and some honey and definitely no cabbage so I'll go right ahead and make this! And I love that you said it wasn't overly sweet! Looking forward to eating it! ?
