It has been forever since I had real country ham, my Father used to buy them at a farmer's market in Orangeville, Ontario. They were delicious, and my Grandmother served her home canned mustard green beans with them, the combination was sheer heaven.
Serving a smoked pork shoulder ham at lunch today. Simmered for a while in water with peppercorns, a couple of bay leaves, and a whole apple. Then I will transfer it to the oven to finish it off. I will use the broth left behind, in it I will simmer potatoes, carrots, rutabagas and cabbage.
Going to make some biscuits as well, as everyone likes to dip them in the broth.
