Mexican-Style Creamed Corn

Mexican-Style Creamed Corn is the perfect simple make,  almost foolproof side dish for virtually any meal you enjoy having corn with. You are combining a deliciously sweet, freshly picked, organic corn on the cob, rich, heavy cream,  a drizzle of organic Honey, sweet unsalted butter, a touch of minced jalapeño peppers, chopped organic cilantro, and a hint of freshly squeezed lime juice to bring out the exquisite flavors of the freshly picked sweet corn.

I love this time of year,  the sweet corn is in full swing here on the Tennessee and Mississippi border, and there is nothing that compares to using the freshest, sweetest, juiciest corn on the cob you can find over at the farmers market when you’re considering making this recipe for Mexican-Style Creamed Corn.

Creamed Corn has always been touch and goes subject to me. If I can make it from scratch, I adore the sweet yummy flavor. However, I am pretty much anti-canned corn these days, and meh on frozen corn most of the time. Sometimes, we have to substitute a few fresh ingredients during the winter freeze. If I have to replace corn, I will pick frozen organic corn over the canned corn any day.

Corn on the cob has been a summer staple ingredient that our family seriously enjoys. I could almost eat corn on the cob practically every day, couldn’t you? The one thing I love about fresh corn is the fact you can have a blast trying new recipes for the family, and usually 9 out of 10 times, and you can guarantee they will love your recipe?  Speaking of great Corn on the Cob, have you tried my Southern Milk and Honey Corn yet? If not, it’s a definite must-try that went viral on Pinterest this summer in no time flat.

I am fairly picky about my ears of corn that I am purchasing at the farmers market. I have a little list of things I like to do to make sure my corn is the best for my buck. I also try to practice a bit proper corn picking etiquette at the farmers market to not destroy someone else’s corn by ripping open that husk and peeking at the corn. Yeah, that sure is a pet peeve of mine. Have you ever seen people slaughtering corn at the market?  Here are a few sure-fire tips on how not to annoy everyone around you and still pick the best corn on the cob.

Here are a few sure-fire tips on how to pick corn w/o peeking inside the corn husk

• Go to a local reputable Farmers Market; you always want the freshest quality corn possible.

• Gently feel the corn kernels through the husk. You will want to make sure that the kernels are plump; if you think any holes where the corn kernels should be, then pick another.

• Look at the corn on the cobs tassels;  if it’s a light brown and a little sticky to the touch, it’s ok. If it is dry or black, then it’s an old ear of corn, put it back in the bin.

• Check out the color of the husk. If it’s a bright green and tightly wrapped against the cob, then the corn is fresh.

• Carefully look for any small brown holes in the corn husk, be sure to look towards the top as well. Those little brown holes are most likely wormholes in the corn on the cob.

If you love a good creamed corn with a little Mexican flair, this recipe is definitely for you. It’s a beautiful yet straightforward way to use up corn on the cob that talks very little time to make, and trust me when I say, this Mexican-Style Creamed Corn is soo darn delicious it’s almost ridiculous.
