Directions:Finely chop vegetables. With hands, mix vegetables with remaining ingredients. With a sharp knife, cut deep holes in ham about 2 inches apart on top in rows. Be careful to not cut string.

Notes: I could not resist putting this in exactly as my grandmother wrote this recipe. Something to keep in mind is my grandmother was making enough to share with her 15 children and their families.
I have never had to make this dish but I have eaten what others have made many times.
My dad just guestimates the amount of vegetables based on the size of the ham he buys.
In my family this is usually served around the holidays and is paired with hot pancakes and fried eggs to start the day right.
