Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 1 quart water, or as needed

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ½ cup salt

  • 2 ears corn

Directions

  1. Make a brine: Stir water, sugar, and salt together until sugar and salt dissolves in a container large enough to hold the corn.

  2. Submerge corn in the brine; let corn soak for at least 1 hour.

  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  4. Remove corn from the brine, shake to remove excess liquid, and cook directly on an oven rack for 1 hour.

From the Editor

Always brine foods in a food-grade, non-reactive container such as a stainless steel or enameled stockpot, a brining bag, or a food-grade plastic bucket. Never use ordinary trash bags, plastic trash cans, or metal buckets or containers not meant for food use.

The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the brine ingredients. The actual amount of the brine consumed will vary.
