1/2 cup salt pork, diced
1 large onion, diced
2 1/2 cups water
3 cups corn kernels
5 potatoes, md, pare & cube
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 quart milk

2. Remove them from the pan with a slotted spoon.
3. Saute the onion in the pork fat just until tender, but not brown.
4. Add the water, corn, potatoes and salt, cooking, uncovered, until the potatoes are almost soft.
5. Add the milk and simmer very gently for 10 to 15 minutes to let the flavor ripen.
6. Taste for seasoning, adding a good bit of freshly ground pepper.
7. Sprinkle the surface with the salt pork and serve with a large supply of soda crackers.
