New England Boiled Dinner

By Addie

This has been a popular dinner among our family for a long time. When we moved to California in 1960, I'd make it often to remind us of New England. We're back home now and continue to enjoy this scrumptious dish.


MY NOTES: This meal is sooooo delicious!!!

Ingredients

• 1 smoked boneless pork shoulder butt roast (2 to 2-1/2 pounds)
• 1 pound fresh carrots, sliced lengthwise and halved
• 8 medium red potatoes. peeled and halved
• 2 medium onions, cut into quarters
• 1 large head cabbage, cut into quarters
• 1 large turnip, peeled and cut into quarters
• 1 large rutabaga, peeled, halved and sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Place pork roast in a large Dutch oven; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour.

Add the remaining ingredients; return to a boil. Reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for 1 hour or until the vegetables are tender; drain.

NOTE: Smoked Pork Shoulder Butts are approximately 2 1/2 lbs ... They are also known as Daisy Hams.

Smoked Butt Boiled Dinner is something really worth making, trust me on that. It is an amazing main dish.

REVIEWS:

This is a very simple dish with LOTS of flavor just as it is. I've seen many versions that add a lot of seasoning but I don't add anything to it. Many would think it comes out bland but it really doesn't because the smoked pork has a deep salty flavor and the vegetables are tasty as they are. Being from New Hampshire, a version just as simple as this one has been a staple in our home for generations - so much so that I remember my great grandmother making it for Sunday Dinner when I was a child. Tried and true - a GREAT one pot meal you won't regret making on a cold night :)

Good taste!! My family absolutely loved it!
