DIRECTIONS:

To Cook in a Slow Cooker:

• In a 5-to-6-quart slow cooker, place the carrots, onion and potatoes. Place corned beef, fat side up, on top of the vegetables and sprinkle with pickling spice. Pour the broth over the vegetables and brisket. Sprinkle with the sprigs of fresh thyme.
•  Cover and cook on high until corned beef is tender, 5-6 hours or 10-12 hours on low.
• Arrange cabbage over corned beef, cover, and continue  cooking until cabbage is tender, 45 min to 1 hour (or 1 1/2 to 2 hours on low). Thinly slice the corned beef against the grain and serve with the vegetables and cooking liquid with the horseradish sauce.
