Instructions

Prepare the Spice Rub: Combine all spice rub ingredients in a small bowl. Rub generously over the brisket on all sides.
Cook the Brisket: Place the seasoned brisket in the slow cooker. Mix water, beef bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce, then pour over the brisket. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
Prepare the Barbecue Sauce: In a saucepan, combine ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, blackberry preserves, apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of the spice rub. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add mesquite liquid smoke for extra flavor.
Shred the Brisket: Once cooked, remove brisket from the slow cooker, shred with forks, and return to the sauce.
Serve: Drizzle homemade barbecue sauce over the shredded brisket or serve on the side. Pair with coleslaw, mashed potatoes, or cornbread.
