How to cook deliciously - Boiled Ham Dinner

1. Stage

Find a very large stockpot or Dutch oven. Put ham in the pot, along with the onions, carrots, potatoes and rutabagas. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over everything. Fill the pot with enough water to just cover all the ingredients.

2. Stage

Bring the water to a boil. Once it's bubbling, place the cabbage on top of the vegetables in the pot. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for one hour or until the vegetables are tender.

3. Stage

Use tongs and a large slotted spoon to scoop the vegetables and meat out of the water, and transfer them to a cutting board. Slice the cabbage into wedges, discarding the cores. Slice the ham, and serve with a generous helping of vegetables and horseradish if desired. Editor's Tip: Save the cooking liquid from the boiled dinner, and use it for any favorite soup recipes or other dishes that call for broth or stock.
