This was a nice twist on our usual corned silverside. I used a little more water, so added in a tiny bit more of the golden syrup, sugar and two more cloves so the yummy flavours wouldn't be diluted. I served this with my Recipe #21617 which was really good made with the cooking liquid. I googled silverside to check the fat content and found Australian silverside is 6g of fat per 100g so you would need to eat about 3/4 of the piece of meat yourself to get 71g of fat! A bit of a difference between old fashioned corned beef and lean silverside!. Looking forward to leftovers in sandwiches over the next few days!
