Sun was shining...

16 days until Thanksgiving.....
I am very Thankful this year......
I decided I will share a different recipe with you...
everyday until Thanksgiving....
These recipes come from our family cookbook
that is dedicated to my Nana...my Ladybug...
Nana's Fried Corn
6 ears fresh sweet corn
1 stick butter
salt and pepper to taste
In a cast iron skillet, on medium heat, melt butter. Turn heat off. Clean corn, then holding
firmly on cutting board (corn is standing up) take sharp knife and slice kernels off cob (not
to close to cob, so you can have more corn milk). Put corn in a bowl and take cobs, using
a sharp knife, scrape downward to get all the juice. Put into previously heated cast iron
skillet and fry, turning often, until corn is browning. Add salt and pepper to taste.
If you decide to try it ....let me know what you think.....
Have a great Tuesday.....
