his succotash is made with fresh lima beans, fresh corn, butter, and cream.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds fresh lima beans, shelled
  • 6 ears of corn
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Place lima beans in just enough salted water to prevent sticking; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 25 minutes, or until almost tender. Check frequently and add more water as needed. Cut off corn kernels; scrape liquid from cobs with the dull edge of a knife. Add corn and liquid and cream to the beans; simmer for 5 minutes. Add butter and salt and pepper to taste. Heat succotash thoroughly. Succotash recipe serves 4.
