Baked Corned Beef

4 – 5 pound corned beef
1 large onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
12 ounces cola (any brand)
1 cup orange juice
¼ cup Worcestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup packed light brown sugar
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons minced garlic

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line a large baking pan or Dutch oven with aluminum foil.

Place corned beef on foil fat side up and place onion slices over the top. In a small bowl, mix together cola, juice, Worcestershire Sauce and cinnamon. Pour around corned beef. Completely seal foil around pan. Bake for 6 – 7 hours or until fork tender.

Near end of baking time, in a small sauce pan, mix together brown sugar, honey, mustard, chili powder and garlic. Heat over low heat until sugar is melted.

Remove brisket, raise oven temperature to 400 degrees, open foil and baste brisket with sugar/honey mixture, do not recover.

Return to oven and bake for another half hour, basting once more during that time.

Remove to platter, cover with foil and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing. Cut the corned beef against the grain into ½ inch slices.
