Servings: 6
Calories: 40kcal
Equipment
- High Speed Blender or Food Processor
Ingredients
- 3 Cobs of Sweet Corn (mine weighed 500g / 1.1lb in total. Weight of kernals after ciooking and removing was 250g )
Instructions
- Husk the corn and pull off any silky threads.
- Add enough water to the bottom of a pan so that it does not rise above the steamer basket. Place a steaming basket, with the corn cobs in it, into the pot.
- Cover and heat on high. Once the steam builds, cook the corn until the kernels are tender, around 6 minutes.
- Stand the cob up on a plate or in a bowl and run the knife down and across the kernels, as deep as you can go
- Transfer the corn kernels to a blender or foodprocessor and blend until as smooth as possible. You may wish to add 1-2 teaspoons of baby milk.
Notes
No Steamer?: Fill a large pan with enough water to cover the corn. Bring to a boil and place the corn into the water, cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook the corn until the kernels are tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
Frozen Corn: to Bring a pan of water to the boil, add 250g (1 & ¾ cups) of frozen corn and simmer for 3 mins. Drain and blend.
Super Smooth: If you would prefer a smoother puree you can use a sieve or mouli.
Storage:
- Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
- Freeze the puree in ice-cube trays and once fully frozen, quickly pop them all out and place into a freezer bag or container. Return to the freezer and store for up to 2 months. (Freezing it this way allows you to take out small portions as needed.)
