Jiggs Dinner

== Description ==
This very delicious Canadian recipe requires a lot of attention & time but is all worth it ! Newfoundlanders often pour the pot liquor (stock) over their dinner. The stock is also thickened for gravy to accompany the roast (moose, beef, or chicken) that is also served at this “scoff”.
* Makes 6-8 servings.
== Ingredients ==
* 2 lbs corned beef (salt beef) or salt spareribs)
* 1 cup yellow split peas
