CORN - Hazel's Famous Cream Corn

Hazel Pittendreigh

Bill Pittendreigh knows that the Jackson clan demands that Hazel must serve this dish whenever they come to dinner. The corn is a white corn secured at Robinson's Farm. First it was Silver Queen variety, then it was replaced by Snow Bell. Today it is Fantasia. One can only wonder what variety will replace Fantasia. Bill and Hazel purchase a year's supply for freezing.

To prepare the corn for freezing:

Each ear of corn the kernels are cut 2 to 3 times to the ??top?? depending on the size of the kernels. Then with the knife scrape the cob to remove whatever corn milk is still available.

To Cook:

Fry out 2 strips of fatback and add the drippings to the corn on low heat.

Add a mixture of one or two spoonfuls (depending on the amount of corn) dissolved in approximately 1/2 cup of milk.

Cook on low heat with constant stirring for about a 15 to 20 mintues until corn is ready to serve.
