My aunt made the hominy in the same kettle we used to cook off the lard when killing hogs. She used lye/wood ashes or some such and when finished she put it up in jars. Was a good side dish but the canned stuff..not so much. Big difference in the two. But, let me say that I didn't enjoy hominy enough to go off and try to make some. Just one of those things thats gone forever I guess.
