If you can, dunk sweet corn on the cob into boiling water within three hours of harvest for the sweetest corn you'll taste. Even after being stored for a few days, the corn will still retain its sweetness and crisp kernels. You can grill corn on the cob, scrape the kernels, add them raw to salads, or cook them slightly and serve them as a side dish. Make tasty cornbread muffins by adding a handful of fresh corn kernels to the batter before baking the muffins. Creamed corn makes a wonderful side dish for pork dishes and to serve at holiday meals. Impress your friends at your next Mexican cuisine night by making a black bean and corn salad. Spice up the salad with fresh cilantro, sweet white onions, chopped jalapeno pepper, and fresh lime juice.
