Creamed Peas

When I was young my Mom would occasionally make creamed peas. She put these teeny tiny onions in hers sometimes, other times not. And placing peas in a cream sauce made them taste much better!

• 2 cups frozen green peas, thawed
• ⅔ cup water
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons butter
• ⅓ cup heavy cream*
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon white sugar (or substitute)

1. In a medium saucepan, combine peas, water, and salt. 
2. Bring to a boil, then stir in butter.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together cream, flour, and sugar. 
4. Stir mixture into peas. 
5. Cook over medium-high heat until thick and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
