Ace Kickstart® Creamed Corn

Ace Kickstart Creamed Corn

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE CREAMED CORN:

• 48 ounces sweet corn
• 1 stick of butter
• 1/2 sweet onion, diced
• 2 green Anaheim/Hatch chiles, stemmed, diced
• 1 teaspoon Ace Kickstart®
• 1 cup half-and-half

LET’S GET COOKING

1. Melt the butter in a heavy bottom pot to where it is just shy of browning, then add the onions and chiles.
2. Sautee over high heat until fragrant and onions are starting to get translucent then add the corn and half-and-half and let come to a simmer mixing well.
3. Add the Ace Kickstart® to the corn, mix well, and adjust adding more Kickstart® to taste.
4. Let the corn simmer ~ for 10 minutes, then CAREFULLY remove 1-1/2 cups of the whole mixture to the container of a blender and let cool. Then CAREFULLY purée and add back to the corn mixture on the stove. Alternatively, this is where an immersion blender comes in handy if you have one. It is a great reason to ask for one for a birthday or holiday since this corn is EPIC and will become a staple for sure.
5. Your corn is ready to serve, but if you like it thicker, you can either blend up more of the corn or let the half-and-half reduce a little more with that cornstarch from the blended corn mixed in.
