Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 5 lbs roast (boston butt)
• 2 quarts water
• 8 cups cornmeal
• 3 tablespoons salt
• 1 tablespoon pepper
• 1 cup flour
• maple syrup, to taste

Recipe

• 1 cook 4-5lb boston butt roast in a heavy pan with lid and place 2 quarts of water in pan. slow cook for several hours. i usually cook at 250 overnight!
• 2 save the broth and grind the meat.
• 3 boil the broth but you need to know how much volume you have!
• 4 for each 3 cups of broth you boil, you will add 1 cup of yellow corn meal slowly while stirring. add to fast and the cornmeal will clump! in this case i used 24 cups of water and 8 cups of cornmeal. add 3 tablespoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of pepper. you will also want to add about 1 cup of flour slowly! mix and cook until mixture is done! it takes about 20-30 minutes of constant stirring to keep mixture from burning and to get cornmeal to soften. once it is thick, you pour into pans. this makes 2 large pans about 3 inches thick.
• 5 cool overnight and then slice and fry. maple syrup and butter makes a great meal.
