Dot's Ham, Cabbage, and Potatoes

This probably is a good basic recipe. I used some of the comments in other reviews. I cooked the butt in 32 oz of low sodium chicken broth and at least another 32oz of “ low sodium better than bouillon” chicken base dissolved in boiling water. I added two quartered onions, fresh string beans and fresh carrots. The flavor of the chicken broth was good for everything except the cabbage... I wasn’t fond of that flavor. Of course my husband was fine with it?? Also, my smoked butt was very salty so I am glad I only used the pepper that was recommended in the recipe. My husband loves ham and cabbage and he loved this recipe. Honestly, I am not fond of ham and cabbage so it was just ok for me (not anything to do with the recipe!!) thanks for the recipe! It made my husband happy and he doesn’t mind eating it a second time tomorrow. I may try frying the ham and cabbage for a change, as mentioned in one of the reviews!

Being of Irish heritage I’ve always had a ton of cabbage soup... typically beef or kielbasa ... I really like this with the smoked pork gave it a nice Smokey twist

I have always wanted to try this, my late Fiance'e was the Irish Chef at his job. I made it all for ME. Super easy, I just threw in the ham hock from Easter & cooked around it. Linda, you can use any ham slices
