GRAMMIE BEA'S NEW ENGLAND BOILED DINNER

Steps:

• Place ham in a large dutch oven style kettle.
• Cover with cold water, and fill to about 2" above top of ham. Cover kettle, and bring to a boil using high heat.
• Turn down to med-high and let boil a few minutes, then drain water, and refill with water 2" above ham, and bring to a boil again over high heat. This method is used to make the ham less salty. (Or you may refrigerate ham overnight in water, and change water several times before cooking instead).
• Once water comes to a boil, turn heat down to med. to med-high making sure it keeps boiling. Keep cover on kettle while cooking.
• Add peeled onions to the kettle.
• Cook ham 1/2 hour per pound of ham.
• Add some water to the kettle, when it starts getting low.

BOILED PORK DINNER

Steps:

• Cut pork into 2 or 3 large chunks and trim extra fat. In large stock pot, saute pork in olive oil until browned on all sides. Sprinkle pork with thyme and garlic; remove to plate.
• Deglaze pan with white wine, stirring to bring up browned bits; return pork to pot.
• Add all other ingredients except cabbage. Bring to a boil; lower heat, cover and keep on low boil for about 2 hours or until pork starts to fall apart. This can take longer if pork simmers at a lower temperature. This is a good dish to make on cold winter days; the pork can simmer along for many hours if you'd like to hold it longer.
• About 15 minutes prior to serving, cut cabbage into large shreds; stir into pot. (If it looks like too much, add half now and stir in more after first addition starts to wilt.) Bring to a boil and cook until cabbage wilts and is soft.
• This makes a soupy roast, not a thickened gravy. Serve in large bowls with good bread to sop up the au jus. It's even better the second day.
• This can be made in a crock pot, but needs to be adjusted: use less broth (only a cup or two); transfer everything to a pot when ready to add the cabbage in order to boil it down (hence, "boiled dinner"). You can skip the browning, but the flavor is not as good.

MOM'S NEW ENGLAND BOILED SMOKED PORK BUTT DINNER

Steps:

• 1. Have a large soup pan of boiling water.
• 2. Take the pork butt out of the plastic wrap and carefully remove the paper casing. Carefully place the pork butt in the boiling water and boil on low heat for about an hour.
• 3. Place the potatoes, turnips (or Rutabaga) and carrots in. When they are almost done cooking, place cabbage in. When the potatoes, turnips or rutabaga, carrots and cabbage are finished cooking take them all out of the pan. Take the pork butt out and slice it in not too thick slices. But about 1/3". Place on serving plater, place the vegetables around the pork and pour a little melted butter and chopped parsely or chopped dill on top of the vegetables. Serve hot!
• 4. Save the water to make a bean soup or chowder with.
• 5. Rose Packing Co. in Illinios sells both kinds of Smoked Pork Butt, rolled or square. I call them and spoke to Rick who is here in California. It is the exact recipe they used for making the Dainty brand my Grandmother, Mom and I used. They can have a case of it sent to their supplier here and I will pick it up next Friday. I am one happy camper!
