Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and allow it to melt completely.
Stir in the honey, brown sugar, salt, and water. Mix well until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble.
Add the fresh corn kernels to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the glaze.
Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the corn to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon (if using) into the mixture and stir well to combine.
Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened and the corn is evenly coated.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Serve warm as a sweet and savory side dish for any meal.
