Introduction:

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 6 ears of corn) or frozen corn, thawed
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Corn:

  • If using fresh corn, shuck the corn and cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, ensure it is fully thawed and drained.

2. Melt the Butter:

  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

3. Cook the Corn:

  • Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Add Honey and Cream:

  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the honey until well combined.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and stir to coat the corn evenly.

5. Season and Serve:

  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is heated through and creamy.
  • Remove from heat and transfer the corn to a serving dish.

6. Garnish:

  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Tips for Success:

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the skillet when adding the cream.
  • If you prefer a less sweet dish, reduce the amount of honey to 1 tablespoon.
  • Ensure not to overcook the corn to maintain its natural sweetness and crisp texture.
