This is one of Laura Ingalls Wilder's recipes from her cookbook. In early 1920s Laura was writing articles for the magazine, "The Country Gentleman". She been contacted by other magazines to write on life and food. She wrote her aunt, her mother's oldest sister, for recipes from the family. This was one recipe that she found and used for her family.
I have always liked Succotash. This is a great recipe well worth trying.
Missouri Succotash
1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut in 1-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
3 medium size ears fresh corn
1/2 cup light cream
1 teaspoon freshly minced onion
2 tablespoons butter
1 few gratings of fresh nutmeg
Place the beans and seasonings in a saucepan with water. Boil rapidly until render-the water should be almost gone, about 8 minutes.
Cut the corn from the cob, first slicing off a thin layer, then scraping the cob to get as much pulp as possible. Add to the beans along with the remaining ingredients.
Heat together just long enough to cook the corn, about 3 to 5 minutes.
