Ingredients

• 1 (3–4 lb) corned beef brisket (with seasoning packet)
• 1 cup orange marmalade
• 1/2 cup Dijon mustard (or whole grain mustard)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Corned Beef: Remove the corned beef from its packaging
   and rinse it under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Place in Slow Cooker: Put the corned beef into the slow cooker,
   fat side up.
3. Mix the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the orange marmalade
   and mustard until well combined.
4. Coat the Beef: Spread the marmalade mixture evenly over the top of
   the corned beef. Sprinkle the seasoning packet over the meat if desired.
5. Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 8–9 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours,
   until the beef is fork-tender.
6. Rest and Slice: Remove the corned beef and let it rest for 10–15
   minutes before slicing against the grain.
7. Serve: Spoon some of the cooking juices over the sliced beef
   before serving.

Description

This marmalade corned beef is tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced between savory
and sweet. The citrusy brightness from the marmalade pairs beautifully with the salty
richness of the corned beef, while the mustard adds a subtle tangy kick. The slow cooker
ensures the meat stays juicy and practically melts in your mouth.

Tips

• Add sliced onions underneath the beef before cooking for extra flavor.
• For a thicker glaze, transfer the cooking liquid to a saucepan and simmer
  until reduced.
• Always slice against the grain to keep the meat tender.
• Serve with roasted potatoes, steamed cabbage, or crusty bread for a complete meal.

Correction & Helpful Notes

• If the sauce seems too sweet, add an extra tablespoon of mustard to balance it.
• If the beef feels slightly firm, cook it longer — corned beef becomes more tender
  the longer it cooks at a low temperature.
• Avoid adding extra salt, as corned beef is already cured and naturally salty.

Enjoy!

Serve this delicious Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient Marmalade Corned Beef hot with your
favorite sides and enjoy a simple, comforting meal that tastes like you spent hours
in the kitchen — when your slow cooker did all the work!
