"Awesome! One of the best things I have made! I took the advice from some of the reviews and added more dried cranberries. Loved having the leftovers for lunch and this might be my new pot luck dish!

"Yum! Big hit! We added more carrots but would have been happy with more. We prefer to eat less meat so next time I'll use less chicken. I bought Naan bread and used that for dipping. Even our 9 yo liked it although she did not like the dill taste as much.
I wish I would have read the recipe more carefully before I was starting to make...I had to post pone making it until I ordered an immersion blender-thank you Amazon. Will certainly make again!

"This was great! I wish that I would have read the recipe more carefully before I was in the middle of making it....I freaked out a little that I did not have a food mill. I had recently ordered an immersion blender for another recipe, so I used that for a few seconds instead. It did a nice job blending everything together. I added a tiny pinch of brown sugar to my bowl because I thought it was a little too tomato-y for my taste but my husband and daughter liked it as is. (Maybe by using the food mill you get rid of the skins and this is not an issue? I was a bit shy on the 4c. basil leaves.
We enjoyed the leftovers and I froze a bit as well.
Certainly will make again!

"I'm giving this 5 stars. This was very tasty-we had it with the Baked Mahi Mahi with Wine and Herbs. I left out the scallions because I do not care for them. Our daughter loved it too. We just got a rice cooker so maybe next time we will make in our new cooker.

"We gave this one a 3.5 out of 5. My husband thought it could have used a little more flavor. Because I was planning on using the 3-4 hour cook time, I did not use a brisket. Instead I bought a sirloin roast. We cooked it on high for 3.5 hours; next time we will try the slow roast on low for longer so it can soak up more flavor. I also added 4 carrots to the dish. Next time think I will add more carrots, onions and parsnips because we prefer to eat more veggies and felt this dish could have used more than what the recipe called for. Parsnips were a good addition as I had never cooked with them before but liked them in this dish. They always say never cook with a wine you would not drink so I used a Cab that I liked. Next time we may throw in a little corn starch or flour to get the sauce a little thicker. As for some comments about the sweetness- that was not an issue. I used turkish dried apricots from Whole Foods-they are darker and less sweet.
