Grate the corn from the cob. Beat the whites and yolks of the eggs separately ; add the yolks to the corn, then the melted butter, then the milk, sugar and salt, and lastly the beaten whites, stirring continually. Bake very slowly for an hour and a-half, covering the dish until the last twenty minutes, when the cover should be removed and the pudding browned nicely. Serve with roast meat of any kind. This can also be made of canned corn, which must be chopped very fine before using. SUCCOTASH. This is made of green corn and Lima beans, although string or butter beans may be used. Cut the corn care- fully from the cob, and to each pint allow One pint of Lima beans. One-half pint of cream or milk. One table-spoonful of butter. Salt and pepper to tasteSuccotash. VEGETABLES, 267 Cover the beans with boiling water, and cook for thirty minutes. Drain off the water, add the corn and the milk or cream, and stew slowly for fifteen minutes, or longer, if the corn is old ; then add the seasoning, and serve. In winter, if dried corn and beans are used, soak both separately over night. In the morning cover the beans with fresh water, and boil them very gently for two hours. Do not drain the water from the corn, but set the pan containing it on the back of the range where it will be well warmed without boiling, while the beans are cooking. When the beans are tender, drain and add them to the corn ; both should then have only water enough to about cover them. Cook slowly for twenty minutes, and drain off some of the water until there is not more than two-thirds of a cupful left ; then add the milk and season- ing. Succotash may also be made of canned corn and beans. CORN AND TOMATOES, STEWED. Take equal quantities of green corn cut from the cob and of sliced, peeled tomatoes, and stew them for half an hour.
