Growing up in Iowa, you know there's a short window of time when the sweet corn is ripe in the fields and at it's most flavorful. Ideally it should be picked then and cooked within a few hours. I have fond memories growing up of freezing huge batches of corn each year with my mom and grandma. Tip for cutting corn off cob: use an angel food cake pan, stick ear in the hole and cut, the kernals drop off into pan and you have less mess to clean up afterwards!

Great tip about getting the kernels off the cob. And you are right...it is so nice to open a door to summer in the middle of winter!

Love this recipe and will try it, for sure! Wonderful tip about using a tube pan. My sons always cut their corn off the cob (years of braces, multiple front tooth repairs from sports injuries, etc.), so they will appreciate this, a lot!! Thank you so much for posting this. ;o)
