Our first of the season from our favorite little Fairhaven Farms
on Jasper Road in Xenia, Ohio.
The Best Sweet Corn ever. Picked fresh daily, $5 a baker's dozen,
immediately refrigerated... they even have a drive-thru.
If you're local, you have to go!
The sweetest part of this was that as i was filling a big pot with
water, it dawned on me that I don't cook it like that anymore!
Just 8 minutes in the microwave on a damp paper towel, 4 ears at
a time, rotating half way through. Perfect, easy and no heat in the
kitchen. Some of us ate it with butter and kosher salt right off the
cob. Others preferred it cut off with butter, salt, a little chili powder,
cumin, and fresh cilantro. Heavenly.

Oh yes...food from the Gods...love corn on the cob. With just us two now that is the way I do it too, in the microwave. We love to grill it also. My mom used to clean them off, throw them in a freezer bag and we had fresh corn all winter too! And no she did not blanch it...it was delsih! ;)
ReplyDeleteyum...I don't think it could be prepared any way I wouldn't like! I freeze it, too! It tastes wonderful in the winter!
Deleteyum yum YUM! enough said! :)
ReplyDeletelol...SO true!
DeleteWhat's your favorite thing to put on it?
I pretty much stick to the basic butter, salt, and black pepper for my corn on the cob but I like the looks of the stuff in the bottom left photo. Some naughty critter(s) ate our first 3 rows of early corn. Yes, I was not happy about that! Annoying!!
DeleteI prefer it cut off

ReplyDeleteI know...it was SO good!
Deletemmm...straight off the cobb for me...with butter and salt...mmm....
ReplyDeletewill have to try it though with the spices...that could be nice...
mmm...any way is just fine by me!
DeleteNow I need some corn on the cob too! I shall be checking area farm stands.
ReplyDeleteOurs opened just this week...they said it was early for them. Hope you find some!
Deleteeverything has been early though, hasn't it?
DeleteEverything has been early and that is why I am picking blueberries now instead of next week.
DeleteI know...it's been amazing. We've never had a tomato in July.
DeleteHi Betsy we love sweet corn and in summer we make corn pudding, delicious:)
ReplyDeleteOh, we love corn pudding, too!
DeleteIsn't Microwave corn the best! We love it fixed that way, but then I again...I would have to try your off the cob corn too, since I love the way you spiced it up. What I miss from not living up North, the Famers Markets, and roadside fruit and veggie stands.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's so easy! I can't believe I didn't know how to do that until last year!
DeleteOh - you're making me hungry! I love it in the microwave too.
ReplyDeletemmmm....I think we'll have it tomorrow, too!
DeleteFresh corn is HEAVEN!
ReplyDeleteI know...the season is too short! I wish it lasted a little longer! Going to get some in the freezer before it's too late!
DeleteYou're so right about microwaved corn on the cob...easy and delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad marsha told me about that!
Deletelove sweetcorn and this one is really tender. Just the one perfect to eat!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree!
DeleteOh yummy fresh corn cooked the modern way! Yay! Take care
ReplyDeletex
yes, there is something to be said for modern conveniences! ha.
DeleteWe got our first batch yesterday too!!!! HIP HIP HURRAY!!!!! YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteSO good! :)
DeleteHi Betsy,
ReplyDeleteThe corn looks so good. And making it in the microwave sounds so very easy. I will have to give it a try.
I have not tried it with the spices, usually I just eat it with lots and lots of butter. It just tastes so good.
God bless.
we usually just do salt and butter, too...but this really was wonderful!
DeleteWOOOHOOO! So tickled you remembered to cook it like you learned last year. ;-} We just had our first last night...prepared in the microwave! Good for you! Your photos look soooo delicious. Enjoy a cool weekend Friend. XO
ReplyDeletethat makes 4 families that I know who had their first of the season last night! haha.
DeleteOh, fresh sweet corn is one of the most delectable treats ever! The microwave method is really good and quick and no heat in the kitchen. Betsy, thank you so much for your kind words... thank you. blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteI hope everything works out just fine! xo
DeleteYou give me so many ideas - microwaved...of course, never realised you could do that. I love it straight off the cob - except for the bits in my teeth!
ReplyDeleteI know...didn't know until last year....it's so much easier and faster!
Deletethat is beautiful looking corn. did you know the cutting off the cob is called shelling?
ReplyDeletethat is what my dad says they called it in Fl. when he was a kid a zillion years ago.
taria
shelling? no...I thought that only applied to beans! ha. :)
DeleteThis is why I love corn. It's sp easy to make something amazing out of it :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great? We had it again tonight! ha.
DeleteDo you microwave with husks on or off?
ReplyDeleteOn! 4-5 ears at a time. Lay on 2 paper towels that have been drizzled with a tablespoon of water. 8 minutes on high. Flip over half way through. You won't believe how easy it is. :)
DeleteCool....Can't wait to try!
ReplyDelete$5 a dozen...not bad...thought they were predicting record high corn prices this year..
ReplyDeleteWe have a small stand near the cottage where we get ours...so delicious :o)
I must try that microwave thingy....looks easy enough!!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
