Corned Beef w/ Vegetables

• 1 (3 pound) corned beef brisket
• 4 or 5 garlic cloves (smashed)
• 2 or 3 large shallots, peeled and quartered
• 2 tablespoons pickling spice
• 2 teaspoons caraway seeds

• 1/2 cup Irish whiskey
• 6 carrots peeled and cut into 2" pieces
• 6 red potatoes cut into 2 " pieces
• 1 small head of cabbage cored and quartered
• 4 sprigs fresh dill

Preheat oven to 250ºF.  To a large sized roaster add first 7 ingredients.  Cover and place in the oven. Braise for 3 hours turning the meat once.  After three hours add carrots, potatoes, cabbage and dill. Cover again and braise another 2 hours.  Remove from oven. Let sit for about 10 minutes.  Remove to plate surrounding meat with vegetables.  Serve with soda bread.
