The first time, I made him a huge sampler platter for Valentines Day. This was back 9 years ago when clearly out relationship was still new and I gladly spent 8 hours in the kitchen cooking something special for him. Now, I just cook a few dishes from time to time, like this one, that he loves.
This is a great side for almost anything. I usually serve it on Thanksgiving or Christmas. It's not hard to make, it's just time consuming.
You can prepare this ahead of time and cook it later. It freezes well in a Ziploc freezer bag. Just portion it out and then lay the bag flat and expel any air. Defrosts in the fridge overnight or on the counter in about an hour. Don't try to can or jar this! I'm huge on jarring things and this one was a big mistake! The cornmeal expands and will explode everything everywhere. What a mess that was!
6 cups drained corn kernels
¾ cup milk
¼ cup melted butter
2/3 cup sugar
¾ cup cornmeal
¾ Tsp baking powder
¾ Tsp salt
¼ cup milk
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Blend 3 cups of the corn kernels and the ¾ cup of milk in the blender. Add butter and sugar until smooth (2 minutes). Grind remaining corn kernels slightly in food processor and mix corn mixtures together with remaining ingredients. Pour into a baking pan and cover with aluminum foil. Set inside larger baking pan and fill ¾ of the way up with water. Place in oven and cook for 1 ½-2 hrs until hot. Scoop out pudding portions.
