🥫 How to store leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Reheat in the microwave or in a covered dish in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
You can also freeze the cooked corn in a freezer container or zip-top bag for up to 3 months.
Marye's Tip o' the day
You can make this on top of the stove. Fill a stock pot halfway with water. Add the buttermilk, honey, salt, butter, and corn. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until done, about 10 minutes.
💭 Things to know
- Corn Selection: Choose fresh corn with bright green husks and moist silk for the best flavor. The corn that comes already shucked saves time but it often dried out and not at it's best.
- Buttermilk Substitute: If you don't have buttermilk, mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes. OR, just use plain milk.
- Cooking Time:
Slow cooker times may vary, so check the corn for tenderness after 3 hours and adjust as needed.
