Brisket In Sweet-And-Sour Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
    2 inches fresh ginger, peeled
    6 large garlic cloves
    1/4 cup Dijon mustard
    1/2 cup dry red wine
    1 1/2 cups Coca-Cola or 1 1/2 cups ginger ale
    1 cup ketchup
    1/4 cup honey
    1/4 cup cider vinegar
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    1/2 cup olive oil
    1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    1 tablespoon fresh coarse ground black pepper, to taste
    1 (6 -7 lb) first-cut beef brisket, rinsed and patted thoroughly dry
Preparation
    Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place everything but the brisket into a food processor, and process with steel blade until smooth.
    Place brisket, fat side up, into a heavy baking pan just large enough to hold it, and pour sauce over it. Cover tightly and bake for 2 hours. Turn brisket over and bake uncovered for one more hour or until fork-tender. Cool, cover brisket and refrigerate overnight in cooking pan.
    The next day, transfer brisket to a cutting board, cut off fat and cut with a sharp knife against grain, to desired thickness. Remove any congealed fat from sauce and bring to a boil on top of stove.
    Heat oven to 350 degrees. Taste sauce to see if it needs reducing. If so, boil it down for a few minutes or as needed. Return meat to sauce and warm in oven for 20 minutes. Serve warm.
