Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

No ingredients found

Take a large piece of salt meat and soak in cold water overnight.
Next, place fresh water in the pot and boil salt meat on the stove
with a small amount of salt pork for 45 minutes or longer. While
that is boiling, prepare your vegetables. Cut turnip in small
pieces, peel carrots, potatoes and prepare cabbage. Add vegetables
to the boiling pot, beginning with turnips, then carrots, cabbage and
lately the potatoes, allowing 15 minutes between each vegetable. Cook
until the potatoes are done.

If cooking for your own family, a cup of peas placed in a cloth and
tied to a string may be hung in the pot to cook with your salt meat
dinner before the vegetables are placed in. They should be soaked in
cold water first, though.

Molasses, 1974
