PREPARATION
1.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2.
Line a large baking sheet with sides/jelly roll pan with parchment paper or foil for easy clean up. Set aside.
PREPARING THE SPICE RUB
3.
In a medium bowl, whisk together paprika, 2 tbsp brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, ground pepper, onion powder, chipotle powder, dried thyme, and cayenne pepper.
4.
Remove 1 tablespoon Spice Rub and add to a medium bowl to use in your barbecue sauce.
5.
Trim brisket of excess fat and rinse and pat dry. (If your brisket is extra long then slice it in half so it will fit in your slow cooker.)
6.
Rub all remaining Spice Rub evenly all over the meat then place brisket on prepared baking sheet.
PREPARING THE BBQ SAUCE
7.
In the bowl with the reserved 1 tbsp spice rub, add the ketchup, 1/3 cup brown sugar, molasses, blackberry jam, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke. Whisk to combine into a bbq sauce.
8.
Reserve 1/2 cup of the sauce and set aside.
9.
COOKING THE BRISKET
10.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 425 degrees F to sear meat.
11.
While brisket is in the oven, spray 6 quart (or larger) slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
12.
Add 1/2 cup reserved bbq sauce to slow cooker along with 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire, 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce and beef bouillon.
13.
Whisk to combine (the bouillon will not be completely dissolved but will dissolve during cooking).
14.
Using tongs (so you don’t burn yourself) carefully transfer brisket to slow cooker. It will be large so you will have to squish it in. Not all of it will be under the liquid.
15.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours until brisket is very tender, flipping over half way through cooking. If your brisket is tough, it just needs to cook longer.
16.
Remove brisket to a foil lined baking sheet.
17.
Brush with some of the barbecue sauce and broil 5-10 minutes, until slightly caramelized.
18.
Meanwhile, simmer remaining barbecue sauce until warmed through.
19.
Brush brisket again with barbecue sauce and slice across the grain or chop if desired. Serve with remaining barbecue sauce.
