Sweet Harvest Homestead

As a young girl, my great Aunt Rosemary was the one woman who I wanted to emulate the most.  She had a well-kept home, a huge garden, lots of land, honey bees, fruit trees, a pond stocked full of catfish, berry bushes, and was a great cook.  We loved the Sunday afternoons after church spent at Aunt Rosemary & Uncle Alton's house, eating one of her delicious meals that came mostly from their land.  She was famous for her creamed corn and cole slaw.  A few years ago, she gave me a corn cutter and showed me how to make her recipe for creamed corn.  Try as I might, I can't get mine to taste quite as good as hers.   There is something about eating in her kitchen and knowing it was made by the corn that grew in her garden, that made hers taste extra special. She canned most of the produce from they grew and froze the rest.  I learned how to can like her but never had a freezer until a few years ago.  I am so glad we bought it as it has come in handy more times than I
