Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt completely.
  2. Add the corn kernels to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes until the corn is bright yellow and slightly tender.
  3. Pour in the honey and stir to coat all the corn kernels evenly. Cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
  5. Continue to cook gently, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the corn. Do not allow the mixture to boil rapidly.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • You can use canned corn, but drain it very well before adding it to the skillet.
  • For a slight tang, substitute sour cream for the heavy cream in the final step.
  • Taste the corn before adding salt; if your butter is salted, you may need less.
