AUNT SADIE'S CREAMY FRESH CORN
Don't try this with canned or frozen corn - it just won't taste the same. I'm saving some of my older relatives' recipes here - you'll know them because they'll have their names. Sadie lived in Stoneville, NC, near Winston-Salem. She could really cook! She's the one that had the cabinet with the flour bin built in - the Hoosier...

Steps:
- 1. Husk the corn and remove silks; cut the kernels from the cob. Scrape cob well to remove all the pulp and milk; there should be at least 3 cups.
- 2. Cook bacon slowly until crisp in a skillet; remove and drain on paper towel.
- 3. Stir corn into hot bacon fat, then add water, salt, and sugar. Stir and cook 5 minutes, uncovered.
- 4. Stir milk gradually into flour; keep smooth. Add this to the corn and cook, stirring constantly for a few minutes or until thickened. Mix in pepper and butter.
- 5. Serve hot, garnished with the crumbled bacon.

Steps:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, sweat the onion in butter and salt until translucent.
- In a large mixing bowl, place a paper bowl in the middle of the bowl. Resting the cob on the bowl in a vertical position remove only the tops of the kernel with a knife, using long smooth downward strokes and rotating the cob as you go. After the cob has been stripped, use the dull backside of your knife to scrape any remaining pulp and milk off the cob.
- Add the corn and pulp mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium high until the juice from the corn has tightened. Add the rosemary. Sprinkle the corn with the sugar and turmeric. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the cornmeal onto the corn, using a whisk to combine well. Add the heavy cream and cook until the corn has softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the rosemary. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the right corn. Fresh corn on the cob is best for this recipe, but you can also use frozen or canned corn if necessary. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it well.
- Cook the corn properly. Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy, so be careful not to overcook it. The corn should be cooked just until it is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients you use, the better your corn will taste. Use fresh cream, butter, and milk, and avoid using artificial flavors or preservatives.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. Try adding some chopped bacon, diced red pepper, or shredded cheese. You can also use different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile.
Conclusion:
Aunt Sadie's Creamy Fresh Corn is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
