Subject: RE: BS: Country Ham
No talk of the fixin's !!! Green and wax beans, fresh. Carrots, cleaned by rubbing them on the green grass of the lawn. Turnip, with the worms freshly cut from the bottom of the roots. Potatoes slightly rubbed clean under running water so as not to disturb the skins. Beets with the greens on. Corn with the ears on. All done on the first broth... the first boil... after one overnight soak of the meat. After the first broth, all is rinsed and potted again for the final byle. Oh, me son ! Fit for them what wears the crown !
