Old Fashion Boiled Dinner

Cover meat with cold water; heat rapidly to boiling, then remove scum.

Reduce heat and simmer until tender, 3 to 4 hours. Prepare vegetables, cutting turnips in quarters and cabbage into 8ths.

Cook beets in boiling water until tender.

About 45 minutes before serving, skim fat from liquid and add vegetables, except beets, and cook until vegetables are tender.

Drain; add beets. Serves 10.
