New England boiled dinner

So I'm originally from Maine, and this meal with a staple at our dinners. I will admit, my husband/kids aren't huge fans of this, so it may not be for everyone. I however, LOVE love this meal. I think it's a must:

INGREDIENTS

• Cabbage - 6 pieces, cored
• Ham (do not get sliced! the boiling water will wash out all the flavor)
• Cabbage
• 4-6 russet potatoes- peeled and quartered
• Bunch of carrots - 4" cut and peeled

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Put the ham on bottom of stock pot. fill in vegetables and put cabbage on top (steams). Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium. Boil for 25 minutes. Done when potatoes and carrots and cooked.
