Sweet Corn Puree
Description
The recipe begins by cutting kernels from fresh sweet corn ears and simmering them in chicken broth to extract corn flavor. Scraping the cobs enhances the natural juices. After simmering, the mixture is blended with butter, heavy cream, and salt until smooth and silky, producing a rich and creamy puree with a mild, sweet corn taste.
The method ensures a balanced texture that can be thickened further by reducing the puree on the stove if desired. The butter and cream add richness without overwhelming the corn's natural flavor, while the salt is added carefully to taste.
This puree works well as a warm side dish or a smooth base for soups or sauces. It can be stored refrigerated in an airtight container for up to five days, maintaining freshness and flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 sweet corn ears
- ¾ cup chicken broth low sodium
- 2 tbsp butter unsalted
- 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
Instructions
- Cut the kernels off the cob and place in a medium pot.
- Scrape the cobs with the dull side of your knife to collect the juices.
- Add the chicken broth to the pot, cover, and heat until the broth boils.
- Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add the hot corn mixture, butter, cream, and salt to a blender and puree until silky smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from blender and serve.
- If the puree is too thin, return it to the pot and reduce the puree over medium heat until the desired consistency.
Notes
- Blend all ingredients except salt first if using salted butter or broth, then season with salt to taste.
- An immersion blender can be used if a high-power blender isn’t available, though texture may be slightly less smooth.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
