The ham recipe is this: (Exactly what I got from Joye, by the way)


1 bone in ham (size is not important)
 
1 15.5oz can of pineapple chunks
 
1 2 liter rootbeer ( Mug or AW)
 
1 1/2 c brown sugar

I put the ham in a large cooking pot.  Then  you dump
the rest of the ingredients into the pot and bring to
a rolling boil and turn it down to a little more then
a simmer.  Boil for 5-6 hours and take the ham out of
the juice and serve.  The  juice is good on the ham if
you like.  This ham doesn’t taste sweet and is so
good.  I hope you enjoy it.


And we really, really did!  It is so moist and it has a wonderful flavor.


The vegetables are from a very dear friend here in Delaware:


“Grandma Schultz’s Vegetables”
1 head cauliflower, cut into small pieces, put into saucepan with about an inch of water.  Bring to boil and boil three minutes.  Drain.
Scatter in the bottom of a buttered, glass 9×13 (or larger) pan.
1 head broccoli, cut into small pieces — follow above procedure.  Add to cauliflower, arranging evenly.
1 pound baby carrots — Same as above, but boil five minutes.
Add to pan, arranging evenly.
Melt 1 pound of Velveeta cheese with 1 can cream of mushroom soup.  (I add a fourth to half a cup of evaporated milk so it isn’t quite so thick. )  Stir until smooth.  Pour evenly over the vegetables.  Add a topping..  (You can top with Pepperidge farm crushed bread crumbs or with Durkee French Fried Onions. I have had it both ways, and my family actually prefers the french fried onions).  Bake for 30 minutes at 350, uncovered.


This is a very pretty dish, and my family really loves it.  Someone asked if they could use the frozen California vegetable mix, and I am sure that it would be fine.  I like it better made fresh, but there would be no reason, I am sure, why the other wouldn’t work just as well.
And I hope you all enjoy it!

  1. Mary Ann we love Grandma Schultz’s veg. dish. Now I’m anxious to try the ham too. Good to be back in Delaware.

  2. When I try the CA veggies I have trouble getting the carrots soft w/out overcooking everything else.  I liked how you specified cooking those longer!  Thanks for sharing recipes.  Cooking gets monotonous and it’s fun to hear about something new.

  3. Thanks for the reciepe I might have to try this one.  I don’t care much for sweet ham.

  4. Ahhh thank you.  Tuning the taste buds!

  5. Mom, Thanks for posting the recipe. I had an idea for people to post a favorite recipe on their sites too. I put one on my site. let’s see who else will :)~Christina

  6. I have a feeling the veggie dish made a colorful addition to the ham!!  My family thinks I’m a lttle nuts, but when it comes to food, the color is important as well as good flavor.  Thanks for the recipe.  Joye
