with lots of just picked corn, make this recipe up to the "Step 3." cool, then put in freezer bags and freeze. When ready to use, start with step 3. A wonderful recipe. (We live near Amish vegetable growers who pick and sell the same day or even the same hour.)
This was absolutely lovely. Creme fraiche wasn't available, but sour cream was an adequate substitute. We loved this recipe.
Instead of creme fraiche, I used 1/4 c Greek yogurt and 1/4 c sour cream. Also, my kiddos loved this.
This is delicious.I suggest 2 jalapeños; one didn't bring enough heat. Serve w/cojito cheese!
There could not be a more timely recipe for this season! But here in New Mexico I’m substituting Crema Mexicana. Good stuff.
This a good recipe for end of summer when you have all that corn. No crème fraiche so used sour cream with a little half and half. Worked well. Great side dish.
