That sweet corn may retain all it
! rich flavor and sweetness, it should
be cooked in the following manner
, Loosen the hUsks at the small end o
the ear, and remove all the silks tina
, can conveniently be got at. Then re
place the husks, tying them with
string; put the ears into water tina
is boiling, being careful not to put 81
many in % the kettle at time as Il
essentially reduce the temperature 0
the water. 1t is a good thing t.
place a little white sugar on the corr
when the husk are lossened. TX
those who raise their own corn, We
should say, do not break off the ear
till they are wanted for use.
