Southern Fried Corn

Before anyone says it, yes, I know.  This recipe has basically taken corn and made it hardcore unhealthy.  But oh how delicious!  And the smell of it simmering... Yum!

It's really not ttthhhaaattt bad.  If you divide the recipe into 12 servings, they weigh in at about 285 calories each (about 20g carbs, 21g fats, and 2g protein... I know, I know- but delicious!!!)

In a large, cast iron pan (Don't have one? Stop now and go buy one.  Not kidding.), melt:
1 stick (4oz) of butter.

Stir in:
32 ounces/ 2 pounds of sweet, white corn (freshly schucked, in season is the best, but frozen will work).

Once the corn is fully coated in the butter, reduce the heat to low and stir in:
1 pint of heavy cream,
1 tbsp (to taste) of pepper, and
1 tsp (to taste) of salt.

Slow simmer all day (yep, I start this in the morning to serve with dinner), or for a minimum of 4 hours.  You want the cream to reduce and thicken, and the corn to melt in your mouth.
