• Yield 7 Ears of corn
• Ready in 20 minutes
• Prep 10 minutes
• Cook 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 7 ears of corn, husked and silky threads removed
• 4 to 6 quarts water
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar

Instructions

1. Bring the water, sugar and vinegar to a boil in a large pot.
2. Add the husked corn, submerging all the ears of corn in the water. Continue cooking on medium-high or high heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Once the water comes to a full boil, remove from the heat, cover the pot and let the corn sit in the hot water for 10 minutes or up to an hour.
3. If after 5 to 10 minutes of cooking the water hasn't come to a full boil but the water IS hot and steaming, it's still fine to remove from the heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.
4. Drain the corn and serve with butter and salt.

Give it a minute off the heat, then serve it while it is still hot.
