Directions

  1. Fill a covered container with enough water to immerse the corned beef. Add brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Remove corned beef from the packaging and rinse well to remove curing residue. Place into the water in the container, reserve spice packet. Add more water to cover if needed. Let soak, 8 hours to overnight.

  2. Combine 1 1/2 cups water, spice packet, and pickling spice in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Place a rack insert in the pot.
