Homemade hominy

1 quart shelled corn

2 quarts water

2 tablespoons baking soda

Wash corn thoroughly, add soda and water and soak overnight. In the morning bring to a boil in the same water in which the corn has soaked. Cook for three hours or until hulls loosen. Add more water as necessary during cooking. Drain off water and wash corn in clear water rubbing vigorously until all hulls are removed. Bring to a boil again in clear water and drain off water. Repeat again. Add 1 teaspoon salt to each quart of hominy. Use an enamel or stainless steel kettle for cooking the corn.
