do you still add an onion? And do you still cook your carrots in there as well??

Yes, depending on the size of the onion(s) I sometimes add 2 onions, but I always halve the onion(s) and stud each onion half with 3 whole cloves. I don't usually cook the carrots in with the meat but IMO there is really no reason not to do so, gingerale or otherwise - it's just that we don't always have carrots with hot silverside.:-))

Me too, I agree that the ginger ale cooking liquid makes a mustard sauce that is just as delicious as any other cooking liquid option - it's not sweet nor significantly gingery.:-))

If you don't have gingerale, add a tsp of minced ginger,a tsp minced garlic, 1/4 cup orange juice (or a quartered orange), 4-5 cloves, a dash of vinegar, and water to cover the corned beef. I did this yesterday in the crockpot on low for about 8 1/2 hours. It was so moist and tender.

I tried it last night after hearing the chef on National RAdio recommending it - ginger ale, ginger, orange, lemon, bay leaf but the result was pretty 'meh'- no significant difference in taste to the way I usually do it (onion studded with cloves, bayleaf, dollop of golden syrup in the water) Kids said they'd rather have the ginger ale to drink with their corned beef!
