PictSweet is not a house brand. I have found it in several of our
supermarket chains as well as at WalMart. As far as I know, all of their
products are frozen and, IMHO, of very good quality.

I don’t know how you make succotash, but apart from corn and lima or butter
beans, some recipes call for some or all of the following: onion, garlic,
red and green peppers. Most all recipes call for salt and pepper, to
taste.

The most “authentic” recipe I know is one my mother always made, which
consisted of corn, lima or butter beans, a scant grating of onion, a pinch
of thyme, and salt and pepper, to taste. At the end of cooking, vegetables
drained, added back to the pot along with ½ cup heavy cream per 4 cups
vegetables. Cook at low heat until cream thickens. Adjust seasonings.

It’s really delicious!
