1/2 cup light cream
2 tablespoons butter or margarine

1/4 teaspoon pepper
If using fresh lima beans, prepare and cook. If using fresh corn, prepare and
cook ears, cut enough kernels from ears to measure 2 cups. In medium saucepan,
combine cooked beans and corn with remaining ingredients. Heat through, stirring
occasionally.
* Or, use I package (10 ounces) frozen baby lima beans cooked and drained, or 1
can (1 pound) lima beans drained.
* Or, use I package (10 ounces) frozen whole kernel corn, cooked and drained, or
I can (1 pound) whole kernel corn, drained.
* My mom used canned kidney beans, canned corn and evaporated milk. It was a hot
filling meal when you can't afford much else. You can always experiment with any
recipe to suit your needs and what you have on hand.
