This brisket is delicious and has a unique mix of smoky, sweet, and rich flavors from the apricots and prunes. The dish that comes out is delicious, with tender meat and a sweet fruit sauce.

Ingredients:

• 1 whole brisket 8-10 pounds
• 1 cup dried apricots, chopped
• 1 cup pitted prunes, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup red wine
• Wood chips for smoking

Instructions:

Get your smoker ready by heating it up to 107F 225C

Put garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a bowl

Add smoked paprika and mix well

First, rub the brisket with olive oil

Then, use a lot of the dry rub to cover it all over

Allow the flavors to soak into the brisket by leaving it at room temperature for 30 minutes

To make it taste better, put wood chips in the smoker box

Put the brisket on the grill grates with the fat side facing up

Smoke for 6 to 8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195F 90C

In a saucepan, mix dried apricots, prunes, beef broth, and red wine while the brisket smokes

Slowly cook the mixture over low heat until the fruits are soft and the sauce thickens

Let the brisket rest for 20 minutes after it's done before cutting it across the grain

You can serve the brisket slices with the apricot and prune sauce on top

Have fun with your brisket on the grill with apricots and prunes
