Dried Hominy Recipe
Put four quarts of shelled corn in a large kettle; fill
cook but not burn; add three tablespoonfuls of baking soda
and cook the corn for six hours. After cooking keep in a
large crock. The corn may be winnowed and dried.
There is also another method: Take one gallon of good wood
ashes and three gallons of water; put the ashes in a sack
and boil until the lye is strong; then take out the ashes
and drain off the lye. Wash the kettle and put the lye
back; put in the corn and boil until the lye takes off all
the outside husks of the corn. Drain and dry.
