Description

Directions

• Use a sharp knife to cut off the tips of the kernels (cut about halfway down the kernel.)
• Then cut the bottom part of the kernels off. Place all corn kernels in a large bowl.
• With the back of a knife scrape the cobs to get all of the milk. Place in bowl with kernels.
• In a heavy skillet (9 to 10-inch works well and preferably cast iron) cook bacon until crisp. Remove cooked bacon from skillet and place on paper towels.
• Add all corn kernels to the bacon fat and cook over medium heat for 1 minute. Add water and sugar and stir continuously until mixture begins to thicken. (May take about 5 minutes.)
• Place cornstarch in a small bowl, and gradually stir in milk.
• Add cornstarch mixture to corn. Continue to cook until thickened.
• Stir in butter, both peppers, and salt to taste. Crumble bacon and sprinkle on top.
