Boiled Dinner - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 head cabbage, cut into chunks (small to med)
water
ham (with bone)
16 ounces baby carrots
6 -8 potatoes, peeled
1 medium rutabaga, peeled and cut in small chunks (optional)

Preparation

Place the cut up cabbage in a big pot. Cover the cabbage with water just covering.
Let the cabbage cook on med-high heat until the cabbage is cooked down enough to add the ham bone in all. I cut as much of the ham off the bone before adding to the pot.
Add the carrots and potatoes.
Continue to cook but turn down to low and cook all day. ( I start mine at 12:00pm and cook until 5 or 6:00pm).
Note: You may use 1 medium rutabagas, peeled and cut into small chunks and or parsnips, peele and cut into small chunks.
