Author's Notes

Save the cobs (you can freeze them) and use them to make soup broths.
Taste the corn and decide if it is sweet enough for you. Only use sugar if your corn is not sweet. Do not use it if you are using canned corn since canned corn is usually soaked in sugar syrup and is already very sweet.
Substitute the corn for canned corn if you are in a rush.
Grilling the corn is optional.
