Cream style corn
Normally during monsoons when we easily find the corn ears it is good idea to make the cream style corn at home. It is used mostly over and above the regular corn nibblets in soups and stuffing to get a rich and creamier texture and taste.This can also be made in bulk and stocked up well for couple of months if stored in freezer bags.

Comments
Regarding the mango pickle, it should last for a year if there is no contamination with water. I still have a little bit of pickle which I made last year. As I said there will be a lot of oil floating on top and that is the preservative.
