I just finished up a nice 7 pound corned beef and I throw some oranges (peeled) in when I'm simmering it.

These oranges soak up 4 hours worth of corned beef fat and other spices in the process. They stay whole but if you look at them funny they just fall apart.

Can't decide if I should eat one......

You're making me hungry

Do it! It will probably explode in your mouth so may want to let it cool down 1st.

what's the worst that can happen? <--- words to live by.

Sounds better than cabbage...that shit smells like dirty feet or baby puke

[ChrisNoF4i]

That's one of life's many mysteries. How can something that smells so bad, taste so good? The world may never know.

[mzdagrl]

i have to know......did you do it?

[MissTwisties]

I love corned beef...thanks to you americans for teaching me how to cook this traditional meal...LOL Never heard/eat it before I came here. It's so yummy! I'll have to try oranges to soack up the fat, that's a first I hear of it. Do you still put the cabbage at the end to cook?

The title of this thread alone, makes me wanna puke....

When life give you oranges... simmer them in some corned beef.

ya whena 3 year old is saying it is not a good idea who are you to question it.

How in the hell does a juicy orange absorb fat?

[Jaynnus]

so...was the whole point of putting the oranges in there to add flavor to the beef or to get the fat out of the pot?
