Brunswick Stew

This recipe has been in my family for many years, ever since we moved to Georgia over 30 years ago. It consists of chicken and salt pork with potatoes, beans and other vegetables. It’s both hearty and delicious.
Ingredients
  • 4 ounces diced salt pork
  • 2 pounds chicken parts
  • 8 cups water
  • 3 potatoes, cubed
  • 3 onions, chopped
  • 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups canned whole kernel corn
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen lima beans
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions
  • In a large pot over high heat, combine the salt pork, chicken and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes, or until chicken is tender.
  • Remove chicken and allow to cool until easy to handle. Remove meat and discard the skin and bones. Chop meat into bite size pieces and return to the soup.
  • Add the potatoes, onions, tomatoes, corn, lima beans, Worcestershire sauce, salt and ground black pepper. Stir well and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour.
