Glynn County History—Our Favorite Brunswick Stew

As locals and visitors alike will tell you, one of our favorite local delicacies is Brunswick stew!

Makes one gallon. Serve with barbecue or seafood (boiled or fried shrimp, oysters, crabs) from local waters.
1 3-lb chicken 1 lb. lean pork
1 lb. lean beef 3 medium onions, chopped

Place meat in large, heavy pot. Season with salt, pepper. Add onions and cover with water. Cook until meat falls from bones (several hours). Remove from heat and allow to cool. Tear meat into shreds and return to stock.

Add:
4 cans (16 oz.) diced tomatoes
5 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 bottles (14 oz.) catsup
1 T. Tabasco
2 bay leaves
1/2 bottle (12 oz.) chili sauce
1/2 t. dry mustard
1/2 stick butter

Cook one hour, occasionally stirring to prevent sticking.

Add:
3 T. vinegar
2 cans (16 oz.) small lima or butter beans (frozen limas or butter beans work, too)
2 cans (16 oz.) cream-style corn (frozen corn works, too)
1 can (15 oz.) small English peas (frozen peas work, too)
Optional: 3 small potatoes, peeled and diced, and a box of frozen, sliced okra

Cook slowly until thick. Enjoy with saltines, oyster crackers, or homemade cornbread!
