fill pot with water, bring to boil.
Enter garden, pick corn, shuck.
Place corn in pot, when water again boils, turn off heat, let stand for a few minutes.
I had an uncle who was very particular about his sweet corn.
His method was similar to this except he only allowed 1 minute after removing from the heat.
Oh yeah. He also required us to RUN from the corn patch to the house.
"If you drop any corn, don't bother stopping to pick it up. It's already stale."
Weird, but as a kid, it was fun to have the grown-ups urging us on-"Hurry Up! That sugar's turning to starch!"
I do remember it as tasting better than it does now. But memory makes a pretty good sauce.
