Salt? What is this you speak of?

Not sure if it's a traditional thing but my grandmother often makes New England Boiled Dinner. It's just a slab of beef, carrots, potatoes, turnips, and cabbage boiled literally all day. A whole stock pot and she probably adds like a teaspoon of salt. I don't understand why they all love it...

We do it every year at easter. You're right, you have to heat the syrup til it's just boiling and then pour it in strips on the snow. Peel eat and enjoy!
