1 c  White wine
3 c  Apple cider
1/4 c  Honey
2 tb Dijon mustard
1/4 c  Soy sauce
2 tb Brown sugar, packed
1 tb Minced garlic
1 tb Minced fresh ginger root
1 tb Whole coriander
2    Sprigs fresh thyme
1    Brisket of beef (2-1/2 lb)

COMBINE WINE, CIDER, HONEY, mustard, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger
root, coriander and thyme in Dutch oven or heavy roasting pan. Add brisket.
Cover tightly and place in oven. Turn oven to 350F and cook 1 hour. Remove
brisket from cooking liquid, cover and set aside. Transfer liquid to medium
pan and cook over medium heat until reduced to a glaze and thick enough to
coat back of spoon. Using covered grill, light about 12 charcoal briquettes
and add small piece of mesquite or other wood. Be sure to place charcoal
and wood to one side of grill. Arrange brisket on grill so that it is not
directly over burning wood. Paint it with some glaze. Place cover on grill
and smoke brisket 1 hour, turning meat and coating with glaze every 15
minutes. Add charcoal or wood, small piece at a time, if fire seems to get
too cold. Remove from grill, thinly slice meat against grain and serve.
Offer any remaining glaze on side.
