The Best Sweet Brisket Recipe featuring Ginger Ale

I've finally found the best brisket recipe. It combines Tori Avey's holiday brisket, with a couple of recipes from my mom's Jewish cookbooks.

I've modified the recipe in a few ways and cooked it in a slow cooker.

Here are the ingredients:

3 lbs brisket. We found a reasonable size in Wegmans.
extra virgin olive oil

1 large white onion, sliced and diced
1 handful of baby carrots
1 package of cut up celery hearts

14.10 oz POMI Strained Tomatoes
Crushed garlic
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups, or more, Ginger Ale
Ocean Spray Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce, to taste
Salt and pepper

1. Season the brisket with salt and pepper to taste. Sear the brisket until brown in a fry pan using olive oil. Then remove from pan.
2. Saute onion
3. Add carrots and celery

4. Pour half of the tomatoes into the slow cooker
5. Place the brisket into the slow cooker
6. Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over brisket in the slow cooker

7. Cover and cook for 8 HOURS on LOW.

8. Allow the brisket to cool, then place in the refrigerator over-night.
9. Slice the brisket against the grain, and place the brisket back in its liquid. Bake at 350 for 1/2 hour.
10. Place back in refrigerator, after cooled.

11. Re-heat brisket to serve.

How To: Getting Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, YouTube and CBS All Access on Sony Android TV

I'm planning for the imminent installation of my SONY A9G Master SERIES OLED 4K ULTRA HD HDR 65” TV.

Here's how to get Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, YouTube and CBS All Access through the Android TV apps on the TV. HBO and Starz will be through Comcast Xfinity, and Apple TV+ will be through my Apple TV box.

Over time the majority of these apps will be available via the Comcast Xfinity X1 box, and not require separate apps.



NETFLIX
Some of the Netflix ready devices include a NETFLIX button on the supplied remote that can be used to launch the app. If the remote for your Netflix ready device doesn't include a NETFLIX button, the app can be accessed by pressing the HOME button, and then navigating to the Netflix app. I am subscribing to Netflix through a Comcast Xfinity package.

AMAZON PRIME VIDEO
The Android TV™ supports 4K streaming of the Amazon® Instant Video app. To enjoy 4K streaming of the Amazon Instant Video app, download and install the latest software update for the Android TV. Amazon Prime Video is included with Amazon Prime.

HULU
There is one Hulu app on all of our Android TVs. The service you receive will depend on your Hulu subscription plan. I am paying for Hulu without commercial.

Disney+
The Disney+ Android app can be installed from Google Play™ Store or Sony Select on your Android TV. I bought a three year subscription to Disney+.

YouTube
You can play 4K movies on the YouTube® app with a compatible Android TV™. Free.

CBS ALL ACCESS
If you own an Android TV you can use the official CBS All Access app from the Google Play Store. I will be subscribing through the CBS All Access app.

COMCAST Xfinity Box
- HBO
- STARZ

Note: To make things easier, bundled in with the Comcast Xfinity interface, you can also get these streaming services via the X1 box:
- Netflix
- Amazon Prime Video
- YouTube

Coming Soon:
- Hulu
- CBS All Access

APPLE TV Box
- Apple TV+
