Pulled pork & Brunswick Stew for Christmas

[southga]

Smoked a couple of butts in my drum on Sat using BPS Money rub. Used some of the pork in this pot of Brunswick Stew. I also used some Money rub to season the stew.

I've never had an authentic Brunswick stew. Looks fantastic! It's a rural, rustic type stew? I've heard ingredients include squirrel and/or raccoon?

Recipes can include any combination of chicken, beef and/or pork. Never had any with squirrel, coon or any other wild critter! We ain't that backwoods here in the southeast!

People in Kentucky use mutton and call it something else but it's pretty similar.

Old timers used to boil the hog's head to make the brunswick stew. Some folks use whatever meat they have on hand. My recipe uses just pulled pork & chicken. Start with 5 lbs of pulled, smoked pork. Boil 3 whole chickens or 8-9 leg quaters. Save the broth & pulled the chicken meat. Cut 1 lb potatoes into 1/2" cubes & dice 2-3 medium onions. Boil potatoes & onions until tender. Heat the pork & chicken in about half gallon of the chicken broth. Drain the water off the potatoes & onions & add to the meat. Add 4 cans tomatoes, 3 cans whole kernel corn, 2 cans creamed corn, one small bag frozen butter beans. Add broth if stew is too thick. I like my stew to be almost thick enough to eat with a fork. Season with whatever suits your taste. I used salt, black pepper, BPS money rub, LA hot sauce & BBQ sauce. Let simmer for at least an hour to let the flavors blend.
