8 -12 lbs half ham or 8 -12 lbs smoked pork shoulder
6 -8 small onions, peeled
6 -8 small red potatoes, scrubbed
6 -8 carrots, peeled and cut in chunks
2 -3 parsnips, peeled and cut in chunks (optional)
1 -2 celeriac, bulbs peeled and cut in chunks (optional)
1 -2 turnips (optional) or 1 -2 rutabaga, peeled and cut in chunks (optional)
1 medium cabbage, cut in 6-8 wedges
12 -15 whole cloves
fresh ground black pepper
butter (optional)
cold water

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.
