Ingredients
  • 2 gallons water
  • 5 lb. stewing hen
  • 2 lb. boneless pork, in pieces
  • 2 lb. varmint (opt)
  • 1st vegetable batch:
  • 2 c. okra
  • 3 c. chopped onions
  • 3 quarts cubed potatoes
  • 3 quarts chopped tomatoes
  • chopped celery, celery leaves and parsley to taste
  • 2nd vegetable batch:
  • 6 c. lima beans
  • 6 c. corn kernels
  • 1/2 c. minced green pepper
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 t. sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Worcestershire sauce and Louisiana hot sauce to taste

Directions
  1. Put the hen, cleaned and dressed varmint, and pork in the water, bring to a boil, then a low simmer. Note that the vegetables are in two groups? That's because you add them in two batches. Add the first batch of vegetables (okra, etc.) and simmer for hours, until very done. Add the second batch of vegetables and cook until done (chicken and pork should have fallen to shreds by now). Add crumbled bacon, then seasonings to taste.
