Rutabagas

• 1 chunk of streak-o-lean (approximately 1/2 pound) (see Note)
• Pinch of sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 rutabaga
• 2 tablespoons butter

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