Method

  1. Rinse the corn a number of times; pick out floating hulls.
  2. Put rinsed corn into a nice, large pot and add enough water to cover by 3–4 inches (7.5–10 cm).
  3. Bring corn to a boil and put the pork into the pot.
  4. Turn stove down to medium-low and simmer for 2–3 hours. Stir occasionally to avoid scorching. You may have to add water as it boils away.

Notes

  • Some people like it thick like stew; some people like it thin like soup with lots of juice.
  • This is an unsalted, bland dish if you just use pork chops. If you like salt and pepper, you will want to put it on after cooking.
  • Bacon with grease is sometimes used instead of pork chops.
