Brunswick Stew

I am one happy boy. I have been trying to find a copy of my mothers Brunswick Stew recipe for years. In case you didn't know, my mother made the very best Brunswick Stew ever. I have never tasted any that would come close to my Mother's stew. 

After the death of my parents and our move from Garner to Angier, our copy of her recipe was lost. I have been calling neighbors, friends and relatives in hope that they had the recipe. No one knew exactly what was in the recipe. I was beginning to think that I would never get to taste Mother's stew again. 

I received a call from classmate Sandy Owen yesterday who had heard from her brother Mack, my neighbor, that I was looking for the recipe. Sandy said that she had found it and probably half of the people in Angier had a copy. It is in the Angier Baptist Church Cookbook. 

Since we didn't have a copy of the cookbook, another neighbor, Sonnie Matthews heard about my search and provided me with a copy. This copy is from the cookbook that was published in the 80's. The recipe can also be found in the latest edition of the cookbook. 

You can bet that a big pot of Brunswick Stew is on my "To Do List". When the weather gets cold, there is nothing better. It is the ultimate comfort food. 

Thanks to all that helped me find the recipe.
