New England Boiled Dinner (very old)

BOILED DINNER
from Maxine’s Recipe Box

Cut up and boil 2-1/2 cups of ham or corned beef for 2 hours (I prefer corned beef). Never boil corned beef, just simmer slowly or it will be tough. Remove from kettle. Add cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and onion to pot. Put carrots into the pot 20 minutes before the other vegetables. Takes about 40 minutes to cook. No salt necessary.
