Ingredients

1	each	hen	(6 lbs)
2	each	onions	sliced
2	cups	okra	cut (optional)
4	cups	tomatoes	peeled, crushed
2	cups	lima beans
2	each	potatoes	1/2 inch diced
4	cups	corn	cut from cob
1	tablespoon	salt
1	teaspoon	black pepper
1	tablespoon	sugar

Directions

Cut chicken into pieces and simmer in 3 quarts of water for a thin stew, or in 2 quarts for a thick stew, until meat can be easily removed from bones, about 2 hours. Remove chicken from broth.

Add raw vegetables and simmer, uncovered, till beans and potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Add chicken, boned and diced, and the seasonings; mix well and remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature, uncovered, then cover, refrigerate overnight.

Reheat over moderately-low heat to a slow simmer. DO NOT BOIL! Serve with warm biscuits or bread.

Notes: If canned vegetables are used, drain and include juices in chicken cooking liquid. Brunswick stew benefits from long slow cooking. In some homes, it is a rule that the stew cannot be eaten the day it is made. The flavor will always improve with age.

Brunswick stew is a fall staple in our area. This is by far the best recipe I've tried for making brusnwick stew that has that "down home" taste we've come to love in the South!!!
