Rutabagas

Directions

1. 1
   Wash and cut streak-o-lean to your liking.
2. 2
   (You could use ham hock or smoked wings or even cut-up bacon, but I just prefer streak-o-lean.)
3. 3
   Place in a pot with enough water to cook meat.
4. 4
   Add sugar, salt, and pepper.
5. 5
   The water will cook out, so it might be necessary to add more during cooking.
6. 6
   Cook meat while you prepare the rutabaga.
7. 7
   Peel rutabaga and cut into cubes (as you would cut up potatoes for potato saladabout the same size).
8. 8
   Add rutabaga to the meat; add more water if needed.
9. 9
   Cover pot and cook until tender; this may take about 45 minutes.
10. 10
    When done, remove from pot, add butter, and serve.
