Boiled Dinner

Ingredients

• salt

Directions

1. Put meat on, after washing well, in enough boiling water to just cover the meat ; as soon as it boils, set kettle on the stove where it will boil very slowly ; boil until almost tender then put in the vegetables, first skimming the meat well. Put in the cabbage first cut into quarters, turnips of medium size cut in halves, and potatoes. Parsnips and car- rots may be added, or rutabagas in place of the turnips. Boil all together until thoroughly done, adding a little salt before taking from the kettle, in which there should be only just enough water to keep the meat from burning ; take up vegetables in separate dishes and lastly the meat. A soup plate or saucer turned upside down, is useful to place in bottom of kettle to keep meat from turning.
