Quick Tip
Break each ear of uncooked sweet corn in half, then stand each half on end in a baking dish or large bowl. With a paring knife,
slice downward to remove the kernels from the cob. Transfer the kernels to a container or resealable plastic bag and freeze
for up to 3 months.

FRESH PICK

is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
