I recently checked out a book from the library which is put out by Bittersweet. Bittersweet is Ozark version of the Foxfire series. Here is a link I found online to the article on making hominy with ashes. Please make sure that you use pur wood ashes from a safe wood, ie. with no poison ivy, or sumac, or shiny magazines burnt in it.

Hominy again

Actually I haven't eaten it yet. I am planning on using it this weekend. However, I generally love hominy! I so appreciate all the cool homestead stuff we shared the other day. That cheese was absolutely fabulous! I liked the plum vinegar so much I started a batch of persimmon vinegar. Today I am making persimmon jam.
