    I tend to eat that year round, but does make it feel like cold weather is coming. Growing up we made 1,000 quarts in the winter every year for a church fundraiser. Yours looks really good- hope you enjoy.

  • Yap I made 3-4 gallons of that last week and vacuum sealed most of it for later consumption.

  • It turned out great!  And it’s a huge batch recipe so I vacuum sealed for later.  Definitely recommend.

    I've always wanted to try my hand at making Brunswick stew. Most of the recipe versions that I've seen have a large number of different kinds of meat. I never seem to be able to get everything together at one time to be able to make it.
    Does anyone have a simplified version of the recipe to share?
  • The Southern Soul recipe is one of the best. It’s what I do but replace some/all of the corn with a frozen “gumbo mix” from Publix that has okra, corn, etc. And go large with a fordhook lima. For the 3lbs of meat I usually do pulled pork and dark meat chicken or turkey. Big turkey legs always work well and you can throw them in with any other cook regardless of time/temp and ditch the skin. I always have pulled pork in the freezer.  Brunswick stew ingredients are often debated in a million ways like chili (potatoes or not for example) but the purists are self appointed — have fun with it.

      If it is any help I usually sandbag left over bbq in the back of the freezer throughout the year for this cook.
