Well...(drumroll please), it was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got the cut of meat right - though a little on the fatty side so next time I'll have to specify I want a leaner part. I substituted the cranberries with (thawed) frozen wildberries and they did the trick well. Only unexpected part was that halfway through cooking, my house started to smell like my childhood and I got choked up.
I accept this Brisket Making Award on behalf of my mother, whose recipe I stole, to her butcher who sent the diagram of cow parts out for Italian analysis, to my girlfriends who happily took part in my berry obsessing, and to my husband, who (luckily for him) showed just the right amount of enthusiasm and awe at dinner last night.
