Simple ,old fashion Brunswick stew recipes :0)

^ yep. The recipe I posted was my simple "indoor" recipe. I've got the sprayberrys style recipe, a recipe I make with all smoked meats with no bbq sauce and liquid smoke, and a recipe with squirrel rabbit and deer meat. But those recipe are too dear to me to be shared.
 
"Old fashion"? Real Brunswick stew, from the original recipes, has squirrell in it and absolutely no liquid smoke or beans. Supposed to cook it till the paddle stands up in it.

It's my understanding that traditional Brunswick stew was first made from cooking a hog's head. I'll pass on that one!
 
In a 2 quart sauce pan, over low heat, melt ¼ cup of butter then add:
1¾ cups Catsup
¼ cup French's Yellow Mustard
¼ cup white vinegar

Blend until smooth, then add:
½ tablespoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
½ oz. Liquid Smoke
1 oz. Worcestershire Sauce
1 oz. Crystal Hot Sauce or ½ oz. Tabasco
½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Blend until smooth, then add:
¼ cup dark brown sugar
Stir constantly, increase heat to simmer (DO NOT BOIL) for approx. 10 minutes.
Makes approx. 3½ cups of sauce (set aside - to be added later).


Then The Stew:
In a 2 gallon pot, over low heat melt ¼ lb of butter then add:
3 cups small diced potatoes
1 cup small diced onion
2 14½ oz. cans of chicken broth
1 lb baked chicken (white and dark)
8-10 oz. smoked pork

Bring to a rolling boil, stirring until potatoes are near done, then add:
1 8½ oz. can early peas
2 14½ oz. cans stewed tomatoes - (chop tomatoes, add liquid to the stew pot)
The prepared sauce
1 16 oz. can of baby lima beans
¼ cup Liquid Smoke
1 14½ oz. can creamed corn
Slow simmer for 2 hours

Yields 1 gallon

Well, I finally had all the ingredients at hand to make this yesterday. Well, all except the chicken, which I threw on the Bubba Keg to smoke. I had about 1.5# of smoked pulled pork in the freezer, so I put it and the chicken in the food processor to grind into smaller pieces (I don't care for chunky Brunswick Stew). The homemade sauce made the difference, although I used Chili Sauce instead of ketchup and lessened the brown sugar to make it a little less sweet. It turned out delicious! With the buttermilk cornbread, it made the perfect meal...
