"Plymouth Succotash is distinguished from the more familiar form by the addition of meats.
It was served in a number of Plymouth (Massachusetts) households once a year, on December 21, in celebration of the date on which the Pilgrims landed.
" Soak beans overnight.
Drain, cover with fresh water, and cook about 2 hours or until very tender.
Drain and work through a sieve or blend in an electric blender.
While the beans are cooking, put chicken (cut into serving pieces), corned beef, salt pork, and water in a large kettle.
Cook about 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until beef is tender.
Stir in bean puree, sliced potatoes, diced turnips, and hominy.
