I've been serving it often, and I've already frozen one batch of creamed corn.

This is my grandmother's recipe:
Creamed Corn
8 cups uncooked corn (1 dozen ears usually equals this)
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 stick butter
2-3 tsp. salt
Remove the corn kernels from the cob. (I use an angel food cake pan, stand the ear up in the center and cut the kernels off. They fall into the pan.)
Combine all of the above in a heavy pan. Bring it to a boil. Let cool. Freeze.
Make sure you have your cardiologist on speed-dial.
I found just the right citrine cabochon for my Victorian album.
And I've been hunting more old Victorian albums to infuse with new life. This one is gorgeous!
So is this one, but it needs some TLC.
I'll be opening an Etsy shop soon.
That, or I'll be appearing on Hoarders.

ReplyDeletewill you post a before shot of your Keretin treated hair? if you do, I will!
what great book covers you've found - what will you do with the discarded innards?
oh, I made the corn today! what a chore taking the kernals off the cob. I was covered in corn juice. I may have to make more since I got 5 baggies to freeze and I want MORE!
ReplyDeleteOh those photo albums are gorgeous! And I have to confess I clicked on the "hoarders" link thinking it'd be the good kind of hoarding (like my craft room) but no...it was scary hoarding. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd SUPER congrats on being published!!! Your work and style are awesome, Leslie.
Cheers,

Loved your corn recipe! I grew up on a muck farm in Michigan as a young child (moved to the southwest when I was in 3rd grade) it was my job to use a razor blade to remove the kernels...it was the 50's! kids with razors!!!!! but oh my! nothing tastes as good as home canned creamed corn!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, enough of corn!!! congrats on being published! no matter how many times you get published, it is still a thrill! enjoy!
Love the whole shebang... the corn, the magazine, BUT especially that book in need of some tlc, oh it's perfect!!! I have loads of tlc for just such an old treasure! After time on your capable hands, I know it will be ever better!!

I am so jealous!! MY corn had stunted ears, what survived the opossums and coons and squirrels...sigh.
