Fresh Corn on the Cob

 

Farmer’s Market

 

Corn-on-the-cob:  Remove husks and silks with a stiff brush.  Cook in lightly salted boiling water for

8 to 12 minutes. Drain and serve with melted butter.  Season with salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.  

 

Cut Corn:  Cut off just the tips from kernels with a sharp knife and scrape cobs with dull edge of knife.  Cover and cook 5 to 8 minutes in small amount of lightly salted water or milk.   Lightly flavor with a small amount of butter/margarine and season with fresh ground pepper.

 

Corn-on-the-cob in foil packet:  Preheat oven to 400-degrees.  Center 4 ears of husked corn on a sheet of

18 x 24-inch heavy-duty aluminum foil.  Spread ¼ cup softened butter/margarine on corn.  Lightly sprinkle with season salt and fresh ground pepper.  Top with 2 ice cubes.  Bring up foil sides.  Double fold top and ends making one large foil packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside.  Bake

30 to 35 minutes on cookie sheet turning packet over once. 

Yield:  4 servings.
