This apricot sweet sauce really brings out the flavor in corned beef. It is great to serve the sauce over cooked carrots also!

- 1 cup water

Coat a large pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place corned beef in dish and add water. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours; drain liquid.
