It was good but not great, used a can of apricot nectar which helped and chopped all apricots, I really liked it, subtle taste though, and I do prefer a stronger flavor. Hubby said it was fine, which means not the best. Probably will keep looking for the best brisket recipe, I am sure it is out there.

I followed the directions exactly!!!! Maybe the addition of wine and some other spices would help. The onion soup is not great with this...better to leave the onion soup to roast!

So delicious! Served it to my whole family (parents, siblings, inlaws, kids...) for a Sunday dinner and they LOVED it! Meat so tender it fell apart, great flavor, easy. Great recipe, thanks!

We buy local, grass-fed beef in bulk so we only have 1-3 briskets a year. We love Apricot Brisket and look forward to it every time. It is wonderful and one of the easiest recipes ever. The only thing I changed is I quarter the apricots.

The oven approach with this recipe left the brisket dry. The gravy was excellent and the sweetness matched the savory of the beef cut well, but in general, not the best cooking method for this cut of meet.

This Rosh Hashanah, I broke away from a traditional brisket recipe to try this one and wow! This will now become our new traditional brisket. It was very tender with a wonderful gravy. I prepared it the evening before I served it and heated in the oven for 1/2 hour. Thank you!

This was very good. I made a 4lb brisket and kept all the other ingredients the same. The apricots, I chopped up only 1 cup. I put it in the crock pot over night and it was great for dinner the next day! Thanks for the recipe!

This is fabulous with prunes instead of apricots. It's a family staple.

Great recipe. Cooked in a crock pot on low for 9 hours. Some changes: (a) added some corn starch in the dry seasonings before rubbing the beef; (b) used a 3 lb piece of meat (1/2 recipe); (c) used a 12oz can of peaches (with syrup) (unpitted) instead of the dry apricots, (d) a full package of onion soup (instead of 1/2 as I was using 1/2 of the beef in the recipe). Moisty and flavorful. Will add a Tsp of mustard powder next time.

Great recipe! Here's how I tweaked it after reading everyone's feedback: I used Knorr French Onion Soup Mix. I chopped up the apricots and used only 3/4 cup. I used a 3 pound chuck roast, browned it as directed, then put it into my crock pot on high for 3 hours. I followed the recipe (browned onions and garlic) except that I precooked a pound of chunked up carrots in my microwave (about 7 minutes) and boiled (skins on/our preference) 6 regular sized potatos for about 45 minutes. I added the cooked carrots and potatoes (chunked up) to the crock pot and gently stirred them in for another half hour at the end. The total time was four hours. The meat was tender, the gravy was sweet and delicious! Next time I do it, I might add a bit of water before the carrots and potatoes at the end to increase the gravy, as the potatoes did absorb some. (But it was still DELICIOUS!)

Very good. I used a 3 lb brisket with all the same quantities otherwise and it was great.

We were very disappointed with this recipe. While the meat was very tender, my family thought the gravy was very bitter. We'll probably not make this again.

This was great! It was the first time that I made brisket, and I was making it for my family for Passover. I put some additional onion soup mix in the water that surrounded the brisket since a few others said that they would use another packet of onion soup next time. Everyone loved it . . . it went faster than everything else (there were hardly any leftovers)!

I don't think I'll make this recipe again, but if I do I will use 2 packets of onion soup mix. i needed a lot of water so that my brisket would not dry out, and the gravy did not have enough flavor. Just so-so, and DH did not care for the apricots.

Obviously I am at odds with every other reviewer, but I found this recipe just awful. The apricots went really badly with the beef, to just give a really unpleasant flavour. Must just be me.

This is a very easy and very delicious brisket recipe. I made it for 2 people that just had babies and they wanted the recipe. Everyone in my family has nothing but good things to say about it. I do seem to add too much water when I make it, but I don't want it to be dry, so I may try to reduce the sauce or add less next time. FYI, try to select a dry onion soup mix that's MSG-free for nursing mothers. There are a lot of apricots in the gravy left over, so this could be reduced as well. You will not go wrong with this recipe!

Just OK, this lacked seasoning. I added 1 tsp amaretto and 1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce and it was better. But there are better brisket recipes. Also, the fiber from the apricots gave us major indigestion.
