Ingredients

12 ears of sweet corn, unhusked

1 pound of carrots

1 pound of onions, peeled and quartered

3 pounds of red potatoes, quartered

12 polish sausages

2 to 3 bottles of beer

Seasonings to taste, such as salt, pepper and your favorite blends.

Directions

Layer the ingredients in a cream can, pour the beer over the top.

Put the lid on the cream can and cook over a camp fire.

Cook for about 2 hours or until the vegetables are tender.

If you have a large pressure cooker, it can be cooked 30 minutes.

NOTES-The only difficult thing about this recipe is finding a cream can. They are becoming a relic of the past. They were used to collect milk or to gather the cream off of the top of the milk once it had settled over night. I found one at a farm sale for $20. I don't know if I over-paid for it or not. But if you consider it to be a cooking pan, it was a good deal.

This is fascinating. i am going to look that up about the cream can. i was looking at campfire pots today on ebay. they make an iron pot called potjie. there is a stew called potjiekos that is layered meat and vegies with wine poured over.

What a wonderful recipe. Love the memories you have invoked. I can see this in my mind's eye, but the only camping I do is at the Holiday Inn, these days. LOL, creaky bones and all.
