Corn is one of those wonderful foods that goes with just about any main dish; it’s juicy and flavorful and takes seasonings well. Our creamy sweet corn is one of those comforting sides that is incredibly simple to make but oh so wonderful at a barbecue alongside a southern meal like your favorite chicken, pork or steak dish. It’s also a wonderful dish to whip up on a busy day and takes less than 10 minutes to cook. How’s that for fantastic?<\/p>\n
Combine all of the ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring them to a boil over medium heat and then reduce the heat. Simmer uncovered for six to eight minutes or until the corn is heated through.<\/p>\n Store it in the refrigerator in a lidded container when the creamy sweet corn cools. It’ll keep for about three days.<\/p>\n Sure! Make some extra when corn is abundant and you’ll have some for months to come. When the dish cools, transfer the corn to portion-sized freezer containers or freezer bags, pressing the excess air out if using freezer bags. Stack the corn in the freezer and grab a portion as needed. It’ll keep for three to six months in the freezer.<\/p>\n Scraping corn off its cob may seem a bit tricky and messy but there is an easy way. Cut off the bottom end of the corn so the corn could stand on its end. Place it vertically on a clean tea towel, then hold the corn with one hand and scrape a knife down the side of the corn with the other. Rotate the corn and continue until it’s all off the cob. The tea towel catches the kernels; just fold the towel a bit to make a chute and pour the kernels into a bowl.<\/p>\n Yes, it’ll make the dish a bit more rich. Another option if you have heavy cream is to make your own half-and-half by using half heavy cream, half milk.<\/p>\n Absolutely! Break warm cooked bacon into small bits, then crumble it into the dish just before serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In Granite Falls, Minnesota, Florence Jacoby uses cream to dress up fresh or frozen corn.
