How to Make Brisket With Apricot Nectar

  1. Preheat oven to broil. Season a 3-4 lb brisket generously with 1 tbsp seasoned salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp paprika.
  2. Place the seasoned brisket in a heavy Dutch oven. Broil uncovered for 5 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  3. Remove brisket from the oven. Add 1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix and 1 cup apricot nectar to the Dutch oven.
  4. Return the brisket to the Dutch oven. Cover and place in a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven.
  5. Braise for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender. Cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of your brisket.
  6. Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest, covered, for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
  7. Slice the brisket against the grain and reheat slowly in a saucepan with a little of the cooking liquid if needed.
