If this is one of those little round shoulders then you cook them just as
you would a shoulder or a boiled dinner; another one of my favorite meals.
I think around my area in MA, they call those little ones picnic hams; not
sure. They just would not require as long as a shoulder to boil; probably
one hour till tender. Add your carrots, potatoes in 3/4 hr before done and
then add wedges of cabbage 15 minutes before done. Very nice meal. I do
something different with my boiled dinner; I mash the potatoes and I also
mash the carrots separately adding butter, salt and pepper before serving.
I serve the wedges of cabbage with butter, salt and pepper and caraway seeds
over the top. I serve with mustard on the table. The next day with
leftovers I toss everything in a fry pan and cook it all up together;
delicious.
If you add beets to this mixture, I believe it might be called red flannel
hash; not sure.
