succotash recipe.. from the early days of yore!
This recipe is from a Church Cook Book ,"The Early Days of Yore". A previous neighbor copied it, and mailed to me a few years back. It is a very old recipe from the eastern colonies. MADE WITH LIMA BEANS, CORN, AND SALT PORK. It is a wonderful dish to take to pot luck dinners. It is always an unexpected dish, and enjoyed by all.
