Barbecued Brisket with Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce

Barbecued Brisket with Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce
Ingredients
12 ounces (1-1/2 cups) light or dark beer or ale
1 cup Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce (Pick up your jar at Bonnes Amies)
1/2 cup Red Pepper Jelly (Pick up your jar at Bonnes Amies)
1 (3-3 1/2 pound) flat-cut brisket, well trimmed
2 Tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Combine beer, Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce and Red Pepper Jelly in a large, deep skillet. Bring mixture to a boil just to melt jelly. Add brisket, cover tightly, and bake in oven until very tender, 3-3 1/2 hours.
If preferred, cook over a low flame on top of stove, regulating heat so liquid only simmers. Turn once or twice during cooking. When done, remove meat, allow to stand briefly, and either pull apart into shreds or cut across the grain into slices. Stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper. Serve with plenty of the pan gravy.

2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons butter, cold

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or you can use a hand mixer, cream the butter, sugar and cream cheese on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed and add eggs one at a time.
