Ingredients
4–6 ears fresh sweet corn
1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
½ tsp kosher salt
1 tsp granulated sugar
Directions
  1. Cook the corn until tender, then blend until completely smooth.

  2. Strain through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh sieve, squeezing out as much corn juice as possible.

  3. Pour the corn juice into a saucepan. Add the salt and sugar, then cook over medium-low heat until reduced into a thick corn paste. Let cool completely.

  4. Whip the softened butter until light and fluffy, then mix in the cooled corn reduction until smooth.

  5. Spoon into a silicone corn-shaped mold and chill until firm. No mold? Roll into a log using plastic wrap or store in a small container instead.

  6. Let soften for 5–10 minutes before serving.
