2    Onions, diced
12 oz Beer
1 c  Dried apricots
2 tb Orange marmalade
1 tb Grated lemon peel
3/4 ts Ginger (ground)
1/2 ts Worchestershire sauce
2 lb Beef brisket
1 c  Dried pitted prunes
3 tb Brown sugar firmly packed
1 tb Brandy
1/8 c  Lemon juice
1/2 ts Cinnamon
1/2 ts Ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut piece of aluminum foil large enough
to wrap brisket. Sprinkle half of diced onions over foil in layer about
same size as brisket. Set brisket over onions. Sprinkle remaining
onions over top. Seal tightly. Set in large shallow pan. Roast 3
hours.

Combine beer with remaining ingredients in large saucepan and bring to
boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat. Discard foil and spread
fruit mixture over brisket. Reduce oven to 300 degrees F. Cover pan
and continue roasting 1 hour, adding more beer to pan if sauce appears
too dry. Transfer brisket to heated platter. Surround with fruit and
sauce.
