Traditionally, the characteristic Brunswick stew is made with ground squirrels. The following is an original authentic recipe. Feel free to use the variation I mention at the bottom of the recipe.
2 ground squirrels (gophers)
1 Tbsp. salt
1 minced onion
2 cups Fresh Lima beans
6 ears corn
1/2 lb. salt pork
6 potatoes
1 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. sugar
4 cups sliced tomatoes
1/2 lb. butter
1. Cut squirrel into serving pieces.
2. Add salt to 4 quarts of water and when boiling, add onion, Lima beans, corn cut from the cob, pork, potato, pepper and the squirrels.
3. Cover and simmer 2 hours, add sugar and tomato, and simmer1 hour more.
4. Ten minutes before removing from heat, add butter cut into pieces the size of a walnut and rolled in flour.
5. Bring to a boil. Serve in soup plates for 6.
