The recipe worked as it should, but in the end it was not overly appetizing. (it looked like dog food, to be honest) Having never been exposed much to corned beef, I was hopeful, but to me it just tasted like I used canned spam. I may consider trying again, but using fresh corned beef instead of the canned.
