BOILED CORN ON THE COB
The Snyder’s Favourite
Remove husks, silks and ends from each
ear. Rinse in cold water and drop into a
pan of boiling unsalted and unsugared
water. Make sure the water covers the
corn. When the water comes back to the
boil, time for 3 minutes. Drain and serve
with butter, salt and pepper if desired.
MICROWAVED CORN ON THE COB
At Snyder's Sweet Corn we are constantly trying our product to ensure
your complete satisfaction.
As a result we are no longer recommending to microwave our sweet corn. After several trials we have found that due to to the fluctuation in microwave power the results can be less then desirable and not reflective of the quality and taste we look for in our end product.
Please feel free to cook how you like but our preference is boiling corn as described above!
BARBEQUED CORN ON THE COB
Remove silk from tip of cob and re-close husk.
Soak cobs for at least 20 minutes. Remove
from water and place on hot coals or on a gas grill.
Turn occasionally until done (about 15 - 20 minutes)
or until outside of the husks are burnt.
Remove from grill and clean off husks.
Season as desired and enjoy!
GORMET CREAMED CORN
4 cob’s Snyder’s corn, fresh or frozen, kernelled off cob
3 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
½ medium sweet onion, diced
1/3 cup white wine
¼ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon butter
In a medium saucepan, sauté bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and set aside. Discard most of bacon fat. Saute diced onion in pan with remaining bacon fat, until onions are translucent. Pour in white wine and simmer to reduce by half (2-4 minutes). Add heavy cream and corn and simmer until corn is cooked (3-5 minutes). Remove pan from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon butter and crisp bacon pieces. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
STORING CORN
Keep husks on and store in refrigerator.
You may wish to cut off the silks before
storing to avoid them turning slimy!
Fresh picked corn will keep about 2 days
for SE varieties and 5 days for the
Gourmet Sweet varieties.
Just ask at our stands when you buy it.
To reduce waste try freezing any leftovers.
FREEZING CORN
Freezing Snyder's Corn is an easy and delicious
alternative to buying packaged frozen corn over the winter.
Just buy a little extra corn each time you are at the
Snyder's stand and plan to use some of it for freezing or
make use of any leftover corn from dinner by processing
your leftovers after your meal!
Bring your pot of water to a boil and place corn in the pot.
Cook all the corn for 3 minutes after it comes back to a boil.
Simply cool the cobs you intend to freeze in a sink full of
cold water while you eat your meal.
Drain and then cut the corn off the remaining cobs after
dinner and fill freezer bags with kernels leaving about one
inch head space. Squeeze the air from the bag and seal,
label and lay flat in your freezer.
To enjoy Snyder's Sweet Corn during the winter, just reheat
as you would store-bought frozen corn by placing it in a
covered microwave safe dish with a bit of water and heat
on high for 5- 8 minutes.
TIPS FROM OUR KITCHEN to YOURS!!
One large cob will yield about one and a half cups of corn.
Tools we use are an electric knife to make quick work of a cob
and an angel food pan which has a handy hole on top of the
cone to hold the cob in place and the tray to catch kernels!
Be sure to fold the open end of the bag over while filling to keep
it free of kernels and give a clean, easy seal!
