Boiled Ham With Marsala Sauce Recipes

BEST BOILED HAM AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Remove the ham from its wrappings. Cut off the skin and make sure you remove the plastic thing that covers the end of the bone.
• Stud the ham with the whole cloves, distributing them evenly over the surface.
• Put ham and onions into a very large pot and cover with COLD water. Its important to use cold water because it draws the excess salt out of the meat and makes a more flavorful broth.
• Bring to a boil slowly over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
• Add all the veggies except the cabbage. Raise heat and bring to a boil again. Reduce heat and simmer another 15 minutes or until the largest potatoes are nearly cooked.
• Add the cabbage wedges. Raise heat and bring to a boil. Simmer another 10-20 minutes until cabbage is cooked but not mushy.
• Use a large, slotted, serving spoon to remove all the veggies to a large serving dish.
• Lift ham onto a platter and carve off a suitable number of servings for the meal.
• Serve each person a slice of ham and a portion of each vegetable. Grind black pepper over the plate and offer butter for the potatoes and other roots if desired.
