Stewed Corn

The corn kernels can be cut from the cobs and scraped up to 4 hours ahead. Store the kernels and scrapings together in an airtight container in the refrigerator, keeping the corn milk with the kernels. The dish does not reheat well, so it's best made fresh just before serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The texture will thicken considerably upon cooling. Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently and adding a splash of milk or cream to restore the creamy consistency. Do not microwave, as it can cause the dairy to separate.
