Was it a salad?? I loved that recipe! Where the hell is it? I'll look.

Found it!! It wasn't a salad, I was thinking of another one - the Roasted corn salad.

Here it is - Thank you for bringing this up, Lorraine I have not made it for years!!


SWEET CORN COBLETS


I was lucky enuf to drag my birthday out for over a week and the best new dish I was treated to by a neighbor who made a wonderful birthday dinner for me.

SWEET CORN COBLETS
Noni Parker, friend and neighbor and great cook!

6 med. ears of corn, cut into 3/4" thick rounds
3/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup finely chopped onion
2-3 T. sugar
2 oz. jar chopped pimentos, drained
1 tsp each: mustard seeds and crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp. salt

In a 6-8 qt. pan, bring 4 qts. water to a boil over high heat.
Add corn; cover and cook till hot (2-3 minutes).
Drain & arrange in a 9X13" dish or rimmed serving platter.

In the same pan, combine vinegar, onion, sugar, pimentos, mustard seeds, red pepper, and salt.
Bring to a boil over high heat and cook till sugar is dissolved.
Pour over corn; let stand till cool, spooning mixture over corn frequently.
If made ahead, cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours.
Serve at room temp. 8-10 servings (no, I think about 4-6, these little devils are addictive!)

Thanks, Jean! I haven't made it in at least 6 years, but, I could remember the taste of it. I'm getting great local corn, and wanted to make it again. What roasted corn salad were you thinking of?

This one I made about the same time as the cobs when I was at the hotel and it's also a family favorite. Excuse the abbreviations - this was my work copy. I'd forgotten the cherry tomatoes, I'd better add a link to this on that thread, too!
