This recipe was given to me by my deceased Mother-in-law. I do not know where she found it, but the recipe was called: "Brenda Day's Corn Crab Cakes With Jalapeno Tartar Sauce".

Makes 8 crab cakes

CRAB CAKES:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 beaten egg
• 1/3 cup cooked corn kernels
• 1/2 cup diced bell peppers,preferably mixed colors
• 2 tablespoons diced red onion
• 1 teaspoon dry ground mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dry cayenne (red) pepper
• 3/4 cups fresh bread crumbs from french bread
• 1 pound lump or jumbo lump crabmeat
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon oil

1. Blend mayonnaise and egg in a large bowl. Mix in corn kernels, bell peppers, red onion, dry mustard, black and red pepper. Stir in bread crumbs and fold in crab meat. Shape mixture into 8 crab cakes, using about 1/4 cup per crab cake.
2. Melt butter with oil in heavy skillet over medium heat.(I like a flat griddle pan myself). Add crab cakes in batches and cook, 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Be careful when turning, it is easier to use 2 spatulas to turn. Serve with Jalapeno Tartar Sauce

Jalapeno Tartar Sauce:

• 2 cups Mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons chopped red onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
• 3/4 teaspoons dry ground mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh jalapeno chilies, seeded and chopped

Combine mayonnaise, red onion, cilantro, dry mustard and chilies in a food processor or blender. Mix well, cover and refrigerate until needed. (a half of this recipe is usually enough for our family)
