My Jewish mother in law stopped cooking years ago. For the High Holidays we should be having brisket. I tried it one year ... I thought it was good but it wasn't hers. I found this and was excited that it had tomato paste. I also loved the idea of cooking then cooling then carving. Well this was the best brisket Ive ever had. My Mother In Law loves it at all. I will upload a photo when I make this for the holiday today.
