Butter and Sugar Corn

New England's yummiest corn on the cob is Butter & Sugar, that variety with a mixture of small light yellow and white kernels. I moved the California before I realized that Butter & Sugar is just one kind of corn, and I had to return to New England during mid to late summer in order to enjoy it.

Butter & Sugar tastes sweeter than regular bright yellow corn and has more flavor that white corn, in my opinion. Ask any number of New England cooks how long this corn should be cooked and what if anything to add to the water. You'll get the same number of different responses. I'm not going to weigh in except to say not to boil it too long. Butter and salt to taste. Enjoy!
