Directions:
In a large stockpot combine water, kosher salt, brown sugar, 2 T. pickling spice, pink curing salt and garlic. Bring to a simmer, stirring until salt and sugar are dissolved. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.

Place one large oven roasting bag inside another. Place brisket inside both bags; pour in cooled brine and seal, pressing out as much air as possible; turn to coat the meat. Refrigerate 10 days, turning occasionally to keep meat coated. Remove brisket from brine; rinse thoroughly. Place in a Dutch oven with water to cover. Add carrots, onions, celery and remaining pickling spices. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat; simmer, covered, adding water if necessary to keep brisket covered, until meat is tender, about 3 hours.

Serve warm or cool. Slice brisket thinly and serve in a sandwich or with additional vegetables simmered until tender in cooking liquid. To made ahead, refrigerate meat in cooking liquid several days; reheat liquid.
