Looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
What's the red stuff in the pot in the second to last picture? I think I see a partial pot of it in another pic.

Looks like a fun weekend away, I’d love to do something like that with a few likeminded folks someday.
I’ll have to give hot buttered rum a go it looks nice.
I remember hearing the name hominy on townsends years back but don’t know much about it. How is it used?

Hominy is dried corn treated with lye (the variety of lye used for food) - removes the hull and swells the endosperm. It also makes the niacin bioavailable. I tried making hominy once with marginal success and will eventually try again. It is used in a variety of ways, but in this case, as a "vegetable" added to the stew (much like a potato). One can buy the dried hominy and rehydrate before/during use. It comes "wet" in a can, which I used here. I will dry whatever is remaining when I open a large can (great addition to a stew on the trail) - I found the "wet" hominy doesn't freeze well and falls apart when subsequently cooked. It also comes ground like polenta.  |
