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

GRAMMIE BEA'S NEW ENGLAND BOILED DINNER



Grammie Bea's New England Boiled Dinner image

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!!

Provided by Lindas Busy Kitchen

Categories     Ham

Time 4h25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 -10 lb) smoked ham, shoulder any size (I use an 8-10 lb. ham for this amount of vegetables and cook 4-5 hrs.)
3 onions, peeled, and left whole
1 -2 cabbage, each cut into 6 wedges
8 large potatoes, peeled, and cut in half
1 lb carrot, peeled, and cut in half

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.
  • Peel and cut potatoes and carrots.
  • Wash and core cabbage, then cut into wedges.
  • Add vegetables during the last 30-40 minutes of cooking time. Serve when veggies are tender, or to your liking.

NEW ENGLAND BOILED DINNER (CORNED BEEF & CABBAGE)



New England Boiled Dinner (corned beef & cabbage) image

Corned beef, cabbage, and other veggies--so good, not just on St. Patrick's Day. Really easy to do, the chopping is the most work, and while the corned beef simmers, you have plenty of time to take care of that. Adapted from It's All American Food, by David Rosengarten.

Categories     Stew

Time 5h

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 -6 lbs corned beef
1/2 medium onion, with skin on
2 cloves garlic, crushed
5 whole cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons pickling spices
2 bay leaves
1 head cabbage, remove outer leaves and cut through stem into 8 wedges
2 small turnips, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
6 large carrots, peeled,cut in one inch chunks
8 medium potatoes, peeled,cut in one inch chunks

Steps:

  • Place corned beef in a large pot, cover with cold water.
  • Bring to a simmer, simmer for 5 minutes, then remove and rinse meat, empty the water out of the pan.
  • Place meat back in the pan along with the onion, garlic, the cloves, pickling spice and bay leaves.
  • Cover with 12 cups cold water, or more to cover the meat.
  • Bring back to a simmer, partially cover the pan, simmer for 3- 4 hours (adding more water as necessary to keep beef covered), until beef is tender, but not falling apart.
  • Remove the beef from the pot, wrap in foil, and keep warm.
  • Strain the cooking liquid, and add it back to the pot, discarding the onion and spices.
  • Bring the liquid back to a simmer, and add the vegetables in this order-- (you should end up with all the veggies in the pot together) cabbage--give it about 4 minutes, then add turnips--give them about 5 minutes, then add carrots--give them about 3 minutes, and then add potatoes, simmering for about 10-15 more minutes.
  • They should all be fork tender.
  • David serves it this way--slice corned beef thinly against the grain, place in a shallow soup bowl with vegetables, and ladle about 1/2 cup stock over all, with mustard and/or horseradish on the side.
  • We have it in dinner plates sliced, with our veggies on the side, and plenty of butter and salt and pepper on them.
  • Also great with crusty bread, and maybe some mustard or horseradish on the side.

MOM'S NEW ENGLAND BOILED SMOKED PORK BUTT DINNER



Mom's New England Boiled Smoked Pork Butt Dinner image

My Mom use to make this wonderful dish. It was my favorite next to Crepes, Pork Ribs, and Lamb Riblet Stew, Pan Fried Steak, soups and her wonderful yellow cake with the dark chocolate frosting. I haven't been able to buy Rolled Smoke Butt in years here in California. I know that cultures change in areas or over decades. But,...

2 -3 lb rolled smoked pork butt, in casing
1 cabbage
1 pkg carrots, cleaned
6 potatoes, peeled
4 turnips or rutabaga..or both
melted butter
finely chopped parsely or finely chopped baby dill

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!

  • 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!
