Corn and Crab Chowder

This was our family’s Thanksgiving eve tradition. After my grandmother passed away, we spent most holidays at my house in Columbia. I’d have a big pot of this going on the stove, made with the corn we’d put up the previous summer. I could feed my mother and aunts early, and when family and friends dropped by to see them, the chowder would still be warm on the stove and ready for late-arriving guests to enjoy a bowl at their leisure.
