A ONE DISH MEAL
AUNT NED'S SPECIAL CORN
submitted by Kay Wiseman
10-12 large ears of fresh corn
bacon drippings
cream
Cut corn off cob. (Not too close to the cob.) Scrape the cobs to get the milk from the corn.
Heat 1 or 2 Tbsp. of bacon grease in a large skillet. (She used an iron skillet.) When it is hot put the cut off corn in and stir frequently until it changes color. If it browns a little that doesn't hurt, just be sure to not burn it. Add about 1/4 cup cream. Salt and pepper to taste. Heat until hot and enjoy.
Comments by Kay Wiseman
I have never perfected this recipe to taste like Mother's. This is approximately the way Mother fixed her corn. All of her brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and of course her kids and grandkids always wanted her to fix this.
She would serve it with fried chicken (that she caught, killed, cut-up and prepared), fried okra and potatoes, black-eyed peas, canteloupe, fresh tomatoes, corn bread and large glasses of sweet iced tea. Usually she served something chocolate for dessert. She was a chocoholic from birth. She always said when they came home from school they always had chocolate pie, chocolate cake, chocolate brownies, or chocolate pudding. Wonder why some of us have weight problems. (ha)
