Okay, here’s my mother’s recipe, exactly as written.

Brunswick Stew

Cut up a large stewing hen and place in very large stockpot. Add 1.5 pounds cut up beef chuck, 2 pounds cut up pork, 2 quarts cold water, 2 Tb. salt, 1/2 tsp. whole black peppercorns and 1 tsp. crushed red pepper. Cover and cook slowly for 3 hours or until meat falls off bones. Throw away the bones.

Add 3 cups diced potatoes, 1 cup minced onion, 2 cups small frozen lima beans, 3 cans small white shoepeg corn, 2 cans tomatoes (the recipe doesn’t say what size can – I think I use 28 oz.), 1 tsp. black pepper, 2 cans tomato soup, 1 large bottle ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco to taste.

Cook 2 hours more and stir often – don’t let it stick to the bottom of the pot.

This makes a great stew and the recipe is very adaptable. If anyone decides to make it, I’d appreciate it if you let me know how you liked it. :)
