cornbeef season packet missing HELP

[rjnelms]

I have a 3 1/2lb Murphy and Davids cornbeef brisket and there is no seasoning packet even though the front says it is included. HELP! What are the "natural spices".

I usually throw those out and use whatever seasonings the recipe I am using calls for. You can use a couple of tablespoons of pickling spice, most supermarkets should carry that in the spices area.

Yes, pickling spices will work. Even with the packet I usually add more of that, mustard seeds, whole cloves, garlic, fresh pepper etc. I like a bit more of the seasonings than what comes in the packet.

I know some that cook it without any of the seasonings so either way the corned beef should taste just fine.
