Corn

Corn is one of my absolute favourite vegetables. I always wait with great anticipation for the fresh Ontario peaches and cream variety that is so bountiful in August. Some nights I'll just eat three ears for dinner, but as this isn't practical on a year round basis, I've collected a wide variety of other recipes to try and fulfil those mid winter cravings.

Serving Suggestions & Notes:

This dish is a family favourite at Thanksgiving and Christmas, with fierce competition over who gets to take home the leftovers. The recipes can be cut in half for a regular meal as well. Cooking time varies greatly depending on the over you're using. It will take at least 1 hour to set (even when halved).
