Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. 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.
  2. Stud the ham with the whole cloves, distributing them evenly over the surface.
  3. 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.
  4. Bring to a boil slowly over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
  5. 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.
  6. Add the cabbage wedges. Raise heat and bring to a boil. Simmer another 10-20 minutes until cabbage is cooked but not mushy.
  7. Use a large, slotted, serving spoon to remove all the veggies to a large serving dish.
  8. Lift ham onto a platter and carve off a suitable number of servings for the meal.
  9. 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.
