Being very thrifty people, they raised their own veggies and preserved their meats. a N.E. boiled dinner was economical and all veggies & corned beef ready to prepare. I am told when I could just stand and reach the table grandma called grandpa to dinner and they spied me reaching for a carrot. I still have the platter she used.

How To Make new england boiled dinner
-
Step 1I cook the corned beef until three fourths done, then add carrots, cabbage and turnips.
-
Step 2When nearly cooked I add potatoes and parsnips. I cook beets separately about 2 hours. I plan to have everything cooked at the same time.
-
Step 3I serve on a large platter, meat in the center and vegetables arranged around it. It usually takes about 3 hours. It's attractive to look at and very appetizing and filling. For a tender corned beef SIMMER gently ~~AND DO NOT BOIL !!!
-
Step 4NEW ENGLAND HASH: The next day I usually grind up all the vegetables and meat and make a regular New England hash. I add and egg and stir it well, then fry or bake' Apple sauce is a tasty side dish with it.
