Corned Beef (Slow Cooker)

Another staple meal. Best to do this when you are out most of the day as the smell makes you hungry in the afternoon!

1 corned silverside about a kilo or so or more
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 onion
8 - 12 cloves
water

Put the corned beef in the crock of the slow cooker. Add sugar and vinegar.
Peel onion leaving as much as the root as possible so it will stay together, cut it into 4 pieces lengthways. Stud each quarter with cloves. Toss in crock.
Cover the lot with water, cook on low for 7 hours or so. Crock pots vary a lot so if yours cooks fast give it less time. If it is an old one it will need 8 hours. You could also just boil this on the stove for an hour after it comes up to the boil.
Serve with cauliflower cheese and boiled or roasted potatoes and a green.
