Tell your sister to try this recipe, I eat it at least once a week.

Ham shoulder in a huge pot and boil it for about 45 minutes covered with water.

Add potatoes, turnips, cabbage and carrots (sliced of course) and boil until the veggies are done.

Serve it up and MASH the heck out of the veggies, even pour some of the broth from the pot on them..........delicious flavor. I add vinegar to my cabbage also. If I cut the ham up in tiny pieces and mash it a bit, I can also eat that.

Then the next day, I cut all of it up into diced pieces and fry it up in the skillet with lots of butter. Fry it up good, then mash it on the plate. I have no top teeth at the moment and had radiation also, and I can eat all of this great.

Hope it helps.
