Ingredients:

Fresh Corn (enough to fill a qt.)
2 Tbsp. Saluratus - wood ash (today's baking soda)
2 qts. cold water

How to Prepare:

American Indians used wood ashes to make hominy. Remove husks, wash and shell enough corn to make about a qt. Add cold water and Saluratus, soak for 12 hours or so. Bring the corn and liquid to a boil in the soaking kettle. Boil for about 3 hours till hulls loosen (Add more water to complete the simmer if needed.) Drain off the liquid and wash in cold water, rubbing vigorously to remove the hulls. Boil again to serve with gravy, fry with lard, bacon grease, or fried meat drippings. Allowed to dry, hominy will keep for 4 or 5 years with no special preparation or storing.
