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.

This recipe is WONDERFUL! If you think it would be too sweet with the apricots, you're wrong! This makes a lovely, savory gravy. My family loved it! I made it for Passover and got RAVES! This one is a keeper! Thanks!

This was my first brisket and aI was nervous, but it was so delicious! I dont have a Dutch oven, so I used a roasting pan and tin foil. I cooked the meat for about 4 - 4 1/2 hours and it came out perfect! Plus the cranberries gave it a nice touch.

I am always looking for different ways for cooking brisket, this was very good. The gravy was wonderful as well. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

I made this in a crock pot -- I didn't have to make any adjustments. It was wonderful. Try it.

This was flavorful ... I added dried cranberries, too. There is an error in the cooking time, however (I looked at the 2 hours 30 minute cook time and it messed up dinner ... wound up serving it the next day). Following the directions, there should be 3 hours of cooking, plus an additional 1/2 hour if necessary. Gravy is excellent, though!

This was a simple recipe with great results. The apricot really gave it a nice tang. I was a little worried since it was my first brisket, but it came out great. A couple of notes: I used half the apricots and chopped them and I used a little too much water, so I reduced my gravy in a pan while the brisket set.

This recipe was one of the best that I have ever cooked. It was very easy to prepare and it was delicious. I normally cannot cook beef dishes other than hamburgers. I was so happy to see how great this came out. My family loved it and it was so easy. I will definitely cook this again!

This was really tasty. I used 2 8 oz cans apricot juice instead of the dried and it made a really nice gravy. Will try this with a bottom round or more tender cut of beef next time. - Lisa

I made this for Passover and everyone loved it. The store was out of brisket so I used London broil and it was still great!

This is really good and easy. I only had a three pound brisket, but I used the recipe the same anyway (but reduced the cooking time a little). My son loved the meat and even the gravy too.
