My husband and I are not winter people. Give us a warm tropical breeze over arctic air any day of the year.

Luckily for us, we live in the South where we have a steady flow of fresh produce at our disposal, like fresh Florida Sunshine Sweet Corn, to perk up our spirits. Sunshine Sweet Corn is non-GMO and makes a great addition to any spring-inspired meal. Why wait ’til summer for fresh, sweet corn when we can have it right now?

To easily slice the corn from the cob, place the pointy end of the ear of corn into the center of a bundt pan. It keeps the corn steady, and the base of the pan catches the kernels. Each ear of corn yields about 1 cup of corn kernels.

Next, we are going to quickly steam the corn in the microwave. I steam it rather than boil it since this helps the corn retain its nutrients over the boiling method where a lot of nutrients are left in the water.

While the corn steams, dice up the jalapeños, removing the stem, seeds and white veins. The seeds and veins hold the majority of the capsaicin – the organic compound that gives peppers their heat. For a spicier dip, leave the veins intact and just scrape the seeds out with the back of your knife or substitute a hotter pepper like serrano peppers.

  1. I bought some fresh corn just so I could try this recipe. I grilled it first (instead of steaming the corn) and it was ah-mazing.
