CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE

2 bay leaves
1 med. Onion, wedged
1 med. Cabbage cut into 6 wedges
1 clove garlic
10 peppercorns
Place brisket in large, heavy pot and cover with water. Add onion. Crush garlic and add to pot. Add peppercorns and allspice. Bring to boil. Skim foam from top. Reduce heat so that water bubbles occasionally. Cover and cook for about 2 hours, turning every 30 minutes. After 1 1/2 hours check with thin knife. When knife will penetrate brisket easily it is done. Drain and remove to a warm platter. Skim fat from broth. Add cabbage to broth. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat to simmer for about 15 minutes. For a New England Boiled Dinner add 1 potato and 1 carrot per serving. Add to pot for last 30 minutes of cooking.
