Ingredients
- three quarts of water
- one pint green lima beans
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- six fine ears of corn
- salt
- pepper
Directions
Six fine ears of corn, cut the corn from the cob. Put the cobs into three quarts of water and let them boil slowly for twenty minutes, remove the cobs and put into the water the cut corn. One pint green lima beans, Y^ lb. salt pork cut into pieces. Add to this salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let this sim- mer one hour or till the water has evaporated so that the mix- ture is the consistency you like. The southerners like it thin and serve it like a soup. Most people let it cook down and serve as a vegetable, just before serving the addition of a little cream is an improvement. Lucia C. Beebe.
