GRAMMIE BEA'S NEW ENGLAND BOILED DINNER
New England boiled dinner is often made with a smoked ham shoulder, and that's the way we always had it at my house growing up. The flavor is incredible and makes for a DELICIOUS meal! Some people like their vegetables firm and some like them soft and tender, so cook your veggies accordingly. The cooking time for this particular recipe is 4 hrs. for an 8 lb. ham, or 5 hrs. for a 10 lb. ham. Another way of cooking veggies is, wait until ham is cooked and removed from water, then cook your veggies in the water in the kettle to the desired doneness. Sometimes I use boneless ham and add turnip and beets, just like in the photo I posted. Yummy!!

BOILED NEW ENGLAND DINNER
This New England boiled dinner has been a popular dish among our family for a long time. When we moved to California in 1960, I'd make it often to remind us of the East Coast. We're back home now and continue to enjoy this scrumptious dish. -Natalie Cook, Scarborough, Maine
