A hit at Holidays

User: Jane from Riverside, CA User Rating:
The 1st time I made this I went all-out and used fresh corn (whew!) My sister-in-law asked me to make it again at our next holiday gathering, so I used frozen corn- 1/2 white and 1/2 yellow -and no one knew any different! Be careful of tumeric - the 1st batch I made was glowing ( but it still tasted great!) I also used only 1/2 the called for rosemary and added milk as needed to thin things out. This is my regular contribution to family holiday meals now. Thanks, Alton!
too thick

Great taste, but would not use hvy cream again-too thick. Was not visually appealing. Also, do not care for rosemary.

Excellent. No question a great recipe to have in your card file to use over and over. Not complicated, quick and super delicious. If you are surfing for a recipe, you can stop here. Nothing would be better.
Great Creamed Corn!

This was very good!!! Suggestion for those with out a sharp knife... use a potato peeler to take the tip or top of the corn off than scrap off the milky part with any knife!

Doubled the recipe using frozed corn and pureed about one third of it. Still too chunky. If you don't absolutely love rosemary, delete it.
Amazing

I made this out of some past its prime corn and even substituted 1% milk for the cream listed. My father, fiance, and I didn't even notice and gobbled up every bite. I had never really enjoyed creamed corn before this, and can't wait until corn season next year to make more.
Not Canned Cream Corn!!!

This recipe was the best creamed corn I've ever tasted! I had no tumeric, so omitted it and it was still delicious! Also--if you have no fresh rosemary, put some dried rosemary in a piece of coffee filter and tie up and use that instead. The recipe is very simple to follow--hardest part is husking and cutting the corn off the cob! Well worth the effort!
WOW!

This is by far the best creamed corn recipe I've ever made. My family members still comment about how good it was when I made it for 4th of July. I used the recommended amount of Tumeric, and it seemed a little neon, so I added a little more liquid, and cooked longer to tone it down. I also have used frozed thawed corn instead of fresh and it turned out just as good; just mash it a little, and add a little more sugar to taste. I used a combo of seet white corn, and regular cheap yellow corn to avoid it being too sweet. For me, the rosemary was a little strong the first time, so I have since used less; just know that you will definitely taste the rosemary in this dish (I have noticed sometimes kids aren't too jazzed with the rosemary.) Also, the cornmeal thickens this beautifully, but know that there will be a slight cornmeal mouth-feel when you eat it. This one will be a regular at any big family gathering.

My husband LOVES this so much that we got 3 dozen ear of sweet corn this summer and all of it went to this recipe. I froze most of it and we didn't make it past Thanksgiving! I love to make this because it is easy to make and my 3 year old son is able to help. If you don't like creamed corn (like me) try this you may fall in love!

We have thanksgiving dinner that is a tradition. We eat the same stuff ever year. well 2 years ago, I took over the cooking duties for the holiday giving my mom and grand parents a break. I wanted to try something new.So I tried this reciepe. It is the new item that is a must have at the table. I have inlaws that will not go to there own families because they would prefer to come to my house and have this corn. It is simple to make

HOLY MOLY this is good!!! only changes I made were I used half and half instead of cream (already had it at home) and I forgot to buy fresh rosemary so I added a pinch of dried rosemary at the beginning with the onion and butter. DELICIOUS. thank you! I will be making a large batch for Thanksgiving!

I hate to say it, but it is. I used a little more tumeric than listed by accident, so beware of the strength of the yellow. I also used a sweet onion and added about half the sugar since my corn was very sweet (fresh corn that I froze a while back). I added a pinch of nutmeg and a bit more salt than listed. Next time I'll add a bit of a kick with some cayenne.
DIVINE!

WOW! I HATE Creamed corn and even I LOVED this recipie. My husband, 15 month old son and I finished the 3 cup yield of this recipie. We were trying it before Thanksgiving...Good thing I tried it first!!!! I'm going to have to quadruple this recipie for My small party of 8! :) FYI: I used 1 bag Green Giant Super Sweet Niblets (frozen corn). To replace the pulp and corn milk that comes from using the fresh corn on the cob I pureed 1/4 c. corn, 2tbs. half and half, and 1/4 tsp. dried rosemary together (in place of fresh rosemary). I did everthing else exactly as written.
Yummy!!

This is a wonderful recipe! I don't like canned cream corn at all. Way too many fillers. This creamed is second to none in my book (could be cause it's fresh!:)). Sweet, with a great onion afternote. The rosemary adds nice flavor and the cream makes it very smooth. Sounds kind of like a wine description, hmmmm?

This is a simple recipe with great flavor. If your mind conjures up images of the slop from a can that your Mom called cream corn, trust me that this is nothing like that at all. I prefer more Tumeric for the wonderful color it gives to the dish. Be prepared to wish you had made a double portion, because everybody is going to want seconds.
Easy and yummy

My family thought I was nuts to make creamed corn when I could buy it in a can, but they changed their tune when they tasted this recipe! Fresh corn isn't in season right now, so I used thawed frozen corn and a wee bit of water instead. It was a hit.

AB, you are the BEST!!! This recipe turned out sooooo good that I was eating straight from the pan before I had the rest of the meal ready! Granted, I LOVE corn, but I have never made creamed corn that turned out so fabulously...the rosemary addition was just right! I subbed 1/2 and 1/2 for part of the cream (just so I wouldn't feel too guilty!), doubt it mattered at all...and I ended up adding a little whole milk at the end to loosen it up a touch...but OMG this is ONE FINE RECIPE!!!!
Golden Success!

I doubled this recipe for a family reunion - and I had several comments that "my" corn was better than a certain upscale restaurant's! Wonderful recipe. I didn't add the rosemary because I didn't have any on hand, and the market was out, but it was still delightful. I do think that it really needs something "woody" though. Maybe thinly sliced mushrooms...back to the kitchen! Oh yeah - and you really need a good sharp knife for this. Mine was dull and I got rather tired.

We had a HUGE group of folks over for Thanksgiving; and as usual, too much food was cooked. the only dish to run out was the creamed corn. Simply outstanding! I subbed 3 cups of drained canned corn, and used manufacture cream (40% fat)instead of heavy cream. I made it 2 days before and it actualy improved the flavor. Highly recommend this sure winner! jack / pasadena, ca

I made this a couple of days after seeing Alton Brown's show on corn, I was at the farmer's market buying corn. Now I've made creamed corn before but never this good. His tips on maximizing the sweetness of this dish worked excellently and the use of cream, instead of milk or half and half, made the cream sauce extremely rich. But what really set this dish apart was the bruised rosemary which complemented the dish perfectly. This one was a huge hit in my family.

This is the first time I've made creamed corn in years, and it came out wonderfully! A few changes: I used stone-ground cornmeal, and its texture did come out in the final product; I might use finely ground meal next time unless I want to repeat the rustic effect. I also used more turmeric than specified since I was using freshly grated turmeric. Also, next time, I'll use half-and-half instead of heavy cream....and make up for it by tossing in some parmesan curls.
Curried Creamed Corn?

User: ALLIEY from Houston, TX User Rating:
I modified this recipe to use what I had on hand, and it was fantastic. My corn was already roasted, so I used it as is. I omitted the rosemary entirely, and substituted curry powder for the turmeric, since I couldn't seem to find that (I know it's there somewhere, though!). I also didn't have any heavy cream, so I used 3/4c. whole milk and a 1/4c. sour cream. All in all, I don't guess I really made the same thing at all! But I used the same methods, and it came out beautifully.
We'll hope 2nd time is a charm

User: MICHAEL from Glen Carbon, IL User Rating:
Was good the first time, but a few things I didn't like... I think the rosemary overwhelmed the dish. Maybe I used too much... I tend to think not, though; I did it exactly like they had on the show. Thus, next time, I think I will add the rosemary later in the cooking process, so I can taste more corn and less herb. Also a warning, this recipe doesn't really keep well in the 'fridge, with the corn meal in there, it soaks up more juice and ends up being a block. Not a bit deal, just add some milk and microwave... but I would like it to be a bit looser. So make sure to cook this right before serving for best results. I'm going to try some modifications to see if I can get it to where I like it. All in all though, not bad at all.
