Instructions: Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Trim excess fat off of brisket and season with salt and pepper. In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil. Brown the brisket well on both sides. Remove meat from pan. To the same pan, add the onions, carrots, garlic, and whole cloves. Saute for 4-5 minutes until onions are softened. Remove from heat and stir in the cranberry sauce. Place brisket in baking pan and spoon the mixture over. Bake for 2 hours covered. Do not lift lid while cooking. Remove pan from oven and transfer meat to cutting board. Slice meat into thin slices. Return brisket slices to pan, mixing into vegetables. Return to oven and bake for an additional 1 1/2 hours, basting often. Serve with mashed potatoes.
