This month’s installment of Cooking with Sherman of Fox59 Indianapolis centered around one of Indiana’s most well known crops, sweet corn.

We have spectacular sweet corn recipes to share with you!

It just isn’t summer without seeing tall, green fields of corn swaying in the breeze.  Around the time the county fairs open up the corn is ripe and ready to pick.  Sherman and I made 5 of my favorite ‘off the cob‘ sweet corn recipes and I have included our segments that ran in the morning news on Thursday July 18, 2013 with the sweet corn recipes below.

Of course everyone loves hot corn that has been rolled in butter and sprinkled with salt and pepper. How about Parmesan cheese with a bit of Italian seasoning?

The typical pancake gets turned on it’s EAR when you add corn meal and sweet corn kernels.  Try my sweet version or a savory twist with fresh herbs and goat cheese.

Have you ever tried sweet corn ice cream? No? Well, I highly recommend you try this easy recipe.  Start the base the day before as it needs to cool overnight before freezing in a commercial ice cream maker. There are a few steps here but nothing too difficult. This is great on blueberry pie and even better topped with Best Boy bourbon barrel stout caramel and candied bacon. Really. It’s flippin’ amazing!

I love, LOVE corn chowder but I do not eat it often because it is usually loaded with butter, cream and calories. My recipes makes use of the cobs to add a creaminess to the base that makes you forget all about the added fat.  This sweet corn soup recipe has been a family favorite of ours for over 15 years!
