- About one hour before dinner: preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Return broth to kettle and bring to boil on top of stove. Peel potatoes and carrots, add to broth. Reduce heat, cover and cook gently for about 30 min.
- While broth is cooking, make meat glaze by combining in small sauce pan the ketchup, vinegar, honey and prepared mustard. Cook for a few minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Spoon or brush glaze evenly over meat. Bake meat in shallow roasting pan for 30-40 minutes, basting occasionally with glaze.
- About 15 minutes before meat is ready, core cabbage and cut into 8 wedges, add to simmering broth and continue to cook until all vegetables are tender to taste.
