Here\u2019s a quick recipe right in time for the Jewish New Year. Corn is NOT a traditional Jewish food since it is native to the Americas. (If they\u2019d had it in ancient Israel, I\u2019m sure it would have become traditional in no time flat.)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Honey is as traditional as the Jewish New Year gets, however. Serving one\u2019s guests dishes flavored with honey wishes them a sweet New Year literally and figuratively. Two years ago I posted a recipe for honey cake<\/a>. Last September I shared a recipe for honey chicken<\/a> from Kosher.com.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
This year I\u2019m making my honey dish even easier.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
I came across the idea for this recipe last year on a visit to Texas. Knowing my love of food, my hostess, Mary Cantu, took me to Central Market<\/a>\u2014an amazing emporium exploding with fresh food and Texas products.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Corn had just come into season in San Antonio, and a Central Market employee was serving it saut\u00e9ed with native wildflower honey at a demo table.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The next day I called the store and talked to Emily Carlos, who told me that the recipe was based on a dish her grandmother used to make.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Unfortunately, Emily didn\u2019t actually have a recipe. She just said, \u201cTake fresh Texas corn sliced off the cob. Saut\u00e9 it in a little butter with salt and pepper, and drizzle in a little wildflower honey.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The proportions below were just a guess\u2014but a very delicious guess! Naturally, I used fresh Massachusetts sweet corn instead of importing it from Texas.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
I\u00a0threw in\u00a0the chipotle on a whim, and I liked it a lot. It adds excitement to the New Year in addition to the honey\u2019s sweetness.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Happy Rosh Hashanah\u2026\u2026..<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Honey Corn<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Ingredients:<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
2 teaspoons butter
\n2 cups raw corn kernels
\nsalt and pepper to taste
\n1 tablespoon honey
\na pinch of ground chipotle pepper (optional but good)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Instructions:<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
In a small nonstick skillet melt the butter. When it starts to \u201ctalk\u201d to you stir in the corn and saut\u00e9 for 3 to 5 minutes, until it looks cooked. Stir in the salt and pepper, followed by the honey and chipotle (if desired).<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Serves 2 to 4, depending on what else is being eaten.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
