I don't know where you live, but if you have salt beef available (in a
brine in a big plastic bucket - requires no refrigeration), it will be
incredible in a crock pot. Rinse off and soak in cold water for three
or four hours. Put in crock pot with potatoes, carrots, yellow
turnip, small onions, some fresh ground pepper and a bay leaf. Serve
in a soup plate with lots of broth. I sometimes add cobs of corn cut
in two inch pieces along with sweet potatoes.


Lee, here we call it corned beef and it isn't quite as salty as salt
beef. It's also brined with seasonings and a few sundry chemicals g

I haven't ever seen salt beef in the US. The last place I actually saw
it was Newfoundland where they make it very much like your above recipe
minus the sweet potato and corn.


Janet......
It's the salt beef I'm using. Also a West Indian favourite so you
should be able to find it in a West Indian market if you have any in
your area. In Toronto, we can buy it at any supermarket.
The sweet potato and corn addition is something I picked up when I lived
in the Bahamas.
