Fresh local organic corn is finally joining blueberries in neighborhood markets and farm stands. We bought some beautiful ears last week during a trip to Keene, New Hampshire. More on that later. Got it in my mind that raw pureed corn kernels could provide enough body and richness to substitute for some, perhaps all, the … Continue reading
