4 lbs of premium hand-selected Daisy ham
Assorted Trimmed Leeks Carrots, Celery, Parsnips, etc.: Customize the quantity to your heart's desire, ensuring a diverse medley of flavors
2 heads carefully cored, trimmed, and quartered for a delightful presentation
Onion Studded with 4–6 Cloves: Optional based on your preference for aromatic intensity
A heaped teaspoon of the finest dried thyme contributing a rich and savory essence
A quartet of fragrant bay leaves for a nuanced infusion
12 –16 aromatic peppercorns adding a subtle kick to the mix
8 –12 fresh and vibrant parsley sprigs enhancing the overall visual appeal and flavor profile

Rinse the Daisy ham under cold water and place it in a large pot or Dutch oven.
If using, stud an onion with 4–6 cloves and add it to the pot for an extra layer of aromatic intensity.
Place the bay leaves, aromatic peppercorns, and dried thyme into the pot. These will infuse the broth with a nuanced blend of flavors.
Fill the pot with enough water to cover the Daisy ham completely.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let the Daisy ham simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until it's fully cooked and tender.
About 30 minutes before the ham is done, add the quartered Petite Savoy Cabbage, assorted trimmed leeks, carrots, celery, parsnips, or any other desired vegetables to the pot.
Allow the vegetables to cook in the flavorful broth until they are tender but still have a bit of crispness.
Test the doneness of the Daisy ham by inserting a meat thermometer. It should register at least 145°F (63°C).
Just before serving, garnish the boiled dinner with fresh and vibrant parsley sprigs. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a burst of freshness.
Carefully remove the Daisy ham and vegetables from the pot. Slice the ham and arrange it alongside the colorful vegetables on a serving platter.
Serve the Daisy Ham Boiled Dinner hot, with a ladle of the flavorful broth on the side. Enjoy this hearty and comforting meal!
