CREAM CORN LIKE NO OTHER

MICROWAVE CREAMED CORN
This microwave recipe was created due to my bad memory. Hubby requested creamed corn for supper for the next night, but (Oops!) I forgot to take it out of the freezer, so I improvised. It has all the same ingredients as my usual creamed corn, only it's cooked in the microwave. And I must say, it turned out great, and I didn't...

If you do the same, you may either allow the corn to thaw in a bowl in the refrigerator for a day or two (bowl is recommended in case of leaks) or you may remove freezer bag, put corn in a microwave safe bowl, add the 3 tablespoons water, cover and nuke on 50% power until thawed, then continue with recipe.

- 3. In large bowl, cut kernels from cob; use blunt edge of knife blade (or tool of your choice) to scrape milk from the cobs.
- 4. Add 3 cups of corn and it's milk to a 2 qt. microwave-safe bowl/dish with lid.
- 5. Stir into the corn, 3 tablespoons water, 3 tablespoons butter, sugar, salt and pepper (pepper optional.) Place lid on dish or cover with wax paper.

- 2. An easy method of positioning the corncob for cutting is to place the cob upright in the center of a angle food or bundt cake pan. if one of these pans is not available any dish will do.
- 3. Slice kernels from cob into the pan, cutting as closely as possibly to the cob. Using the back of the knife scrape the pulp and milk from the cob.
- 4. Pack the corn into freezer containers leaving 1/4 inch head space mashing once or twice with the back of a spoon, depending upon consistency.
- 5. If added richness is desired, the cob may be boiled for 20 minutes in a large pan. The cobs should be removed and the water reduced to about1/4 of the original quantity by boiling off.
- 6. This water may be used to cover the corn in the freezer container, after it has completely cooled
