Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, rosemary, black pepper, 1 tablespoon salt, chile flakes and Aleppo pepper. Place the brisket, fat side up, in a large Dutch oven. Rub meat all over with the spice mixture. If you have time, let meat rest at room temperature for 1 hour. (You can skip this step if necessary.) Transfer pot to oven and roast, uncovered, 20 minutes.
- While meat cooks, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the cranberries and remaining 6 tablespoons sugar. Simmer, uncovered, until cranberries begin to break down, about 5 minutes. Stir in the wine, cider and pomegranate molasses if using. Season with salt.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Pour cranberry mixture over the brisket. Cover and cook until meat is very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours; turn meat every hour. Slice meat and serve with plenty of sauce and parsley for garnish.

BRISKET IN SWEET-AND-SOUR SAUCE
Brisket is the Zelig of the kitchen. It takes on the character of whoever cooks it. In the early part of the 20th century, when ''The Settlement Cook Book'' reigned supreme in American Jewish households, recipes for savory briskets of beef with sauerkraut, cabbage or lima beans were the norm. As tastes became more exotic, cranberry or barbecue sauce, root beer, lemonade and even sake worked their way into recipes. Here, Coca-Cola is the secret ingredient, along with ginger. The result is sublime and the dish only improves if it's cooked a day in advance of serving it. However, you can prepare and serve it the same day, if you'd like, though you may want to use a fat separator to strain the fat from the finished sauce. Several readers commented that the original cooking time and temperature on the recipe (3 hours, including 1 hour uncovered, at 350 degrees) was inaccurate. We've retested and adjusted the recipe, so the brisket now cooks for 5 to 6 hours, covered, at 325 degrees. Please also note that this recipe is not kosher for Passover.

Steps:
- Let meat stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. Heat oven to 325 degrees.
- Place everything but the soda, olive oil and brisket into a food processor, and process with steel blade until smooth. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and whisk in soda and olive oil.
- Place brisket, fat side up, into a heavy baking pan just large enough to hold it, and pour sauce over it. Cover tightly and bake for 3 hours. Turn brisket over, cover pan, and bake 2 to 3 hours more or until fork-tender. Cool, cover brisket and refrigerate overnight in cooking pan.
- The next day, transfer brisket to a cutting board, cut off fat and slice with a sharp knife against grain, to desired thickness. Set meat aside. Remove any congealed fat from sauce and bring to a boil on top of stove.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Taste sauce to see if it needs reducing. If so, boil it down for a few minutes or as needed. Return meat to sauce and warm in oven for 20 minutes. Serve warm.

SWEET AND SOUR BRISKET
This is heaven in a pot and couldn't be easier to make! The sweet and sour flavors come together nicely with melt-in-your-mouth brisket. Serve with mashed potatoes, potato pancakes or roasted potatoes and bread on the side to soak up the scrumptious sauce. If you like intense flavors, you will not be disappointed.

SWEET-AND-SOUR BRISKET
When Sarah Carey, our editorial director of food and entertaining, was a kid, holiday visits to her grandparents' house often included her grandma's sweet-and-sour version of classic beef brisket. She recreated it from memory, one bite at a time, using three key ingredients: Chili sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar.

SWEET AND SAVORY BRISKET
I like this recipe not only because it makes such tender and flavorful beef, but because it takes advantage of a slow cooker. It's wonderful to come home from work and have this mouthwatering dish waiting for you. The beef doubles as a warm sandwich filling, too.-Chris Snyder, Boulder, Colorado

CRANBERRY SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE
I made this sauce over meatballs at my daughter's wedding reception. It was a hit. Nice change from your regular sweet and sour. The cranberries give it just enough tartness. This recipe makes a lot so you may want to cut it down for smaller portions. It was enough for 280 1" meatballs.

This has to be the easiest recipe for brisket and it is so good, you can also make this same recipe using a pot roast! If you can make this a day ahead the sauce flavor intensifies the following day, just rewarm over low heat. If you are making a larger brisket then double the ingredients but still only use 2 onions and 1-2 tablespoons fresh garlic. This brisket is melt in your mouth tender!

Tips:
- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also make this recipe in a Dutch oven over low heat for 8-10 hours.
- Use a good quality beef brisket for the best results. A brisket with a lot of marbling will be more flavorful and tender.
- Be sure to trim any excess fat from the brisket before cooking. This will help to reduce the amount of grease in the finished dish.
- Sear the brisket in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to brown the meat and give it a richer flavor.
- Use a variety of spices and seasonings to flavor the brisket. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add a cup of cranberry juice to the slow cooker along with the beef broth. This will give the brisket a sweet and tangy flavor.
- Cook the brisket on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
- Serve the brisket with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
Conclusion:
This easy cranberry sweet and sour brisket is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The brisket is cooked in a slow cooker with a variety of spices and seasonings, and the cranberry juice gives it a sweet and tangy flavor.
