Succotash Recipe ingredients

• 2 cups green corn or a cup dried corn
• 2 cups fresh Lima, string or butter beans or 1 cup dried Lima beans
• Salt and pepper
• 1 cup milk
• 4 tablespoons butter

To prepare this Succotash Recipe, first if fresh vegetables are used, cut the corn from the cob. Cover the beans with the least possible amount of boiling water, to prevent scorching and cook until tender. Drain off the water, add the corn and the milk and cook slowly until the corn is tender. Add the butter and other seasoning. When dried corn and beans are used, soak both separately overnight. In the morning, cover the beans with fresh water, and boil them very gently until tender. Do not drain the water from the corn, but set the pan containing it on the back of the range where it will cook slowly. When the beans are tender, drain and add them to the corn, allowing only water enough to cover them. Cook slowly until tender and drain off water and save for soup. Add the milk and seasoning.
