BRISKET IN SWEET-AND-SOUR SAUCE
Brisket is the Zelig of the kitchen. It takes on the character of whoever cooks it. In the early part of the 20th century, when ''The Settlement Cook Book'' reigned supreme in American Jewish households, recipes for savory briskets of beef with sauerkraut, cabbage or lima beans were the norm. As tastes became more exotic, cranberry or barbecue sauce, root beer, lemonade and even sake worked their way into recipes. Here, Coca-Cola is the secret ingredient, along with ginger. The result is sublime and the dish only improves if it's cooked a day in advance of serving it. However, you can prepare and serve it the same day, if you'd like, though you may want to use a fat separator to strain the fat from the finished sauce. Several readers commented that the original cooking time and temperature on the recipe (3 hours, including 1 hour uncovered, at 350 degrees) was inaccurate. We've retested and adjusted the recipe, so the brisket now cooks for 5 to 6 hours, covered, at 325 degrees. Please also note that this recipe is not kosher for Passover.

Steps:
- Let meat stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. Heat oven to 325 degrees.
- Place everything but the soda, olive oil and brisket into a food processor, and process with steel blade until smooth. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and whisk in soda and olive oil.
- Place brisket, fat side up, into a heavy baking pan just large enough to hold it, and pour sauce over it. Cover tightly and bake for 3 hours. Turn brisket over, cover pan, and bake 2 to 3 hours more or until fork-tender. Cool, cover brisket and refrigerate overnight in cooking pan.
- The next day, transfer brisket to a cutting board, cut off fat and slice with a sharp knife against grain, to desired thickness. Set meat aside. Remove any congealed fat from sauce and bring to a boil on top of stove.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Taste sauce to see if it needs reducing. If so, boil it down for a few minutes or as needed. Return meat to sauce and warm in oven for 20 minutes. Serve warm.

SWEET AND SOUR BRISKET
This is heaven in a pot and couldn't be easier to make! The sweet and sour flavors come together nicely with melt-in-your-mouth brisket. Serve with mashed potatoes, potato pancakes or roasted potatoes and bread on the side to soak up the scrumptious sauce. If you like intense flavors, you will not be disappointed.

EASY CRANBERRY SWEET AND SOUR BRISKET
This has to be the easiest recipe for brisket and it is so good, you can also make this same recipe using a pot roast! If you can make this a day ahead the sauce flavor intensifies the following day, just rewarm over low heat. If you are making a larger brisket then double the ingredients but still only use 2 onions and 1-2 tablespoons fresh garlic. This brisket is melt in your mouth tender!

The mixture sounds weird but it is actually very good. You can add potatoes and carrots if you want during the last couple of hours. This is a good recipe if you aren't going to be home all day to watch it.

SWEET-AND-SOUR BRISKET
When Sarah Carey, our editorial director of food and entertaining, was a kid, holiday visits to her grandparents' house often included her grandma's sweet-and-sour version of classic beef brisket. She recreated it from memory, one bite at a time, using three key ingredients: Chili sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place brisket in a large, heavy-bottomed roasting pan; season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high; add onions, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until onions are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add broth, chili sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar; bring to a boil.
- Place roasting pan over two burners; pour in broth mixture and return to a boil. Cover pan with parchment-lined foil and roast in oven 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees; roast 1 hour, 15 minutes more. Add carrots and potatoes and continue roasting, uncovered, tossing vegetables occasionally, 1 hour. Baste meat with pan juices and continue to roast, basting and tossing vegetables occasionally, until meat is tender but not falling apart, and potatoes and carrots are cooked, about 1 hour more.
- Transfer brisket to a cutting board. Let stand 10 minutes, then slice and serve with sauce, vegetables, and parsley.
Tips:
- Choose a high-quality beef brisket for the best flavor and texture. Look for a brisket that is at least 3 pounds, with a good amount of marbling.
- Trim excess fat from the brisket before cooking. This will help the meat cook evenly and prevent it from becoming too greasy.
- Season the brisket liberally with salt and pepper before cooking. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Sear the brisket in a hot skillet before braising. This will help to brown the meat and develop flavor.
- Braise the brisket in a flavorful liquid, such as beef broth, chicken broth, or water. You can also add vegetables, such as onions, carrots, and celery, to the braising liquid for extra flavor.
- Cook the brisket until it is fall-apart tender. This will take at least 3 hours, but it may take longer depending on the size of the brisket.
- Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the braising liquid and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the brisket with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or green beans.
Conclusion:
Cranberry Sweet and Sour Brisket is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and sour flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and preparation, you can have this dish on the table in no time.
