APPALACHIAN CORNBREAD



Appalachian Cornbread image

On this westernmost ridge of the Appalachians, we get abundant rain and sunshine, which allows our children to grow a super sweet corn crop. With staggered plantings, there is enough to eat from mid-July through August, plus plenty to freeze for the long winter. This cornbread is just one way we use some of the bounty! -Anne Wiehler, Farmington, Pennsylvania

BLUE CORNBREAD



Blue Cornbread image

Blue corn was a staple for the Pueblo Indians of Northern New Mexico. The blue-purple kernels produce a coarser consistency and sweeter, nuttier taste than yellow or white corn. This bread rises high and proud. This recipe was printed on the package of blue-corn meal I recently purchased.
