Ingredients

1 raw, bone-in smoked pork shoulder (picnic ham), about 8 lb (3.6 kg)
1 branch celery, cut into 5 or 6 pieces
1 carrot, peeled and cut into 5 or 6 pieces
1 onion, peeled and cut into wedges
1 leek, green part only
1 teaspoon (5 ml) mustard seeds
1 cinnamon stick
2 bay leaves
2 cloves
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Preparation

Using a knife, cut the rind off the pork. Set aside.
Place the shoulder in a large Dutch oven and add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Transfer the shoulder to a plate and discard the water. Repeat the entire operation and drain.
Return the shoulder to the Dutch oven and cover with cold water. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 4 hours, turning the shoulder halfway through.
Before serving, trim off the fat and debone the shoulder. Serve with boiled potatoes and maple syrup.
