liquid into sugar mixture and cook over medium heat until sauce boils.
Add madarin oranges. Spoon about half of the sauce over meat. Continue
cooking, uncovered, about 30 minutes or until meat is very tender, basting
with sauce occasionally. Carve meat diagonally across the grain and place
on platter with vegetables. Spoon remaining hot sauce over meat and
vegetables. Garnish with parsley flakes or fresh parsley.

Brisket also can be simmered on top of range until tender or can be cooked
in a pressure cookier according to manufacturer's directions.
