I made this all-in-one dish often for my children when they were growing up. Now, I fix it when baby-sitting my grandchildren...they love it, too. It's easy to cook in one pot on the stovetop. —Janet Tucker of Bellevue, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 1 piece boneless fully cooked ham (16 ounces)
  • 6 medium carrots, halved lengthwise and cut into thirds
  • 4 medium red potatoes, quartered
  • 2 medium onions, cut into wedges
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon peppercorns
  • 1 garlic clove, halved
  • 1/2 teaspoon whole allspice
  • 1/2 medium head cabbage, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Place the ham, carrots, potatoes and onions in a Dutch oven. Place the bay leaf, thyme, peppercorns, garlic and allspice on a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners of cloth and tie with kitchen string.
