Notes

 

After removing husks and silks from each ear of corn, cut in half if preferred.

Thoroughly wash in warm water and 1/2 cup of salt.  Rinse thoroughly in clear/warm water.  

Yellow corn is already sweet.  However, if you prefer more sweetness, add 1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar to the water mixture before boiling corn.
