Notes

 
QUICK RECIPES NOTES:
  • Do not add salt to the water since it can toughen the corn. If you want to add something, add 2 tablespoons of white sugar to enhance the sweetness of the corns.
  • Use leftover boiled corn to make muffins, salad, soups, etc.… just make sure to cut the cooked corn off the cob and use it in your favorite recipes.
  • To make this recipe over the stove, peel the corn on the cob and remove the silks. Fill a large pot or Dutch oven about half full of water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Add the peeled corn to the pot. Cover and return to a boil. Cook for 7 minutes.
