Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 -3 lb rolled smoked pork butt, in casing
1 cabbage
1 pkg carrots, cleaned
6 potatoes, peeled
4 turnips or rutabaga..or both
melted butter
finely chopped parsely or finely chopped baby dill

Steps:

1. Have a large soup pan of boiling water.
2. Take the pork butt out of the plastic wrap and carefully remove the paper casing. Carefully place the pork butt in the boiling water and boil on low heat for about an hour.
3. Place the potatoes, turnips (or Rutabaga) and carrots in. When they are almost done cooking, place cabbage in. When the potatoes, turnips or rutabaga, carrots and cabbage are finished cooking take them all out of the pan. Take the pork butt out and slice it in not too thick slices. But about 1/3". Place on serving plater, place the vegetables around the pork and pour a little melted butter and chopped parsely or chopped dill on top of the vegetables. Serve hot!
4. Save the water to make a bean soup or chowder with.
5. Rose Packing Co. in Illinios sells both kinds of Smoked Pork Butt, rolled or square. I call them and spoke to Rick who is here in California. It is the exact recipe they used for making the Dainty brand my Grandmother, Mom and I used. They can have a case of it sent to their supplier here and I will pick it up next Friday. I am one happy camper!
