COTTAGE HAM AND CABBAGE
Have fond memories of my grandma making this on her stove. Is comfort food at its best. See my recipe for Cottage Ham. This recipe utilizes that recipe first. Not normally a white-bread lover, but reminds me of my childhood to make this ham into the best leftover sandwich ever. White bread, cottage ham, and Miracle Whip. Like it best with the ham warmed up. Don't salt until you taste it. The ham is salty. Might be good served with a horseradish sauce on the side or a grainy mustard. Unsure of yield.

Steps:
- Place the Cottage Ham in a large pot. Cover with cold water and cook at medium heat for 30 minutes. Add the onion, carrots, potatoes, cabbage and pepper. Cover with more water if necessary. Cook until the vegetables are fork-tender. You could drain off the first water that the ham is cooked in if it's too greasy. Add new water if you like.
- Serve in a bowl with buttered bread along side.
COTTAGE ROLL /COTTAGE HAM
I have made cottage rolls often but couldnt find a recipe here on Zaar so I thought I would post my old standby. It is like a corned beef flavour wise but it is a ham made from pork shoulder. It is much cheaper than pork roast, ham or corned beef usually.

COTTAGE HAM
I grew up on the East coast and have fond memories of my Grandmother making the most delicious Cottage Ham and Cabbage. Cottage hams are virtually unheard of anymore, especially west of the Mississippi. After moving west, I searched high and low for a butcher that would sell me a Cottage Ham to no avail. Finally met someone that made them and he even told me how. This is unlike what most people think of when thinking of a ham. This ham ends being boiled with cabbage, onion, carrots and potatoes. It has a unique consistency. It sort of falls apart when cooked. Makes great sandwiches the following day. This is the technique for first making the Cottage Ham itself. Wish I could buy them still. Believe company in Chicago called Rose Packing handles different grades of them. Some have a lot of filler - yuck. If you live where Rose supplies Cottage Hams, get a good one. Makes my mouth water just thinking about them. Zaar won't allow the second ingredient to be properly listed. It's called Sweeter 'n Sweet. I did buy the Sweeter 'n Sweet at a local butcher. It's a sugary product used to make the brine.

Tips for Making Perfect Cottage Ham:
Tips
- Choose a high-quality ham. Look for a ham that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat. This will help to keep the ham moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Soak the ham in water for several hours before cooking. This will help to remove some of the saltiness from the ham and make it more tender.
- Score the ham all over the surface. This will help the glaze to penetrate the ham more easily.
- Use a flavorful glaze. There are many different recipes for ham glaze, so choose one that you like. Some popular options include brown sugar glaze, honey glaze, and pineapple glaze.
- Cook the ham slowly and carefully. The best way to cook a ham is to bake it in a preheated oven at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the ham from drying out.
