Ingredients:

Serving

12 ears fresh sweet corn
8 tbsp unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups onions, finely chopped
1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped
3 celery ribs, finely chopped
3 large ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and roughly chopped
2 tsp salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
4 tbsp sugar
1 cup evaporated milk

Directions:

Shuck the corn and remove all of the cornsilk.
Hold each cob over a bowl and cut the kernels away in layers (don't cut whole kernels) then scrape the knife along the cob to get all of the 'milk' out of it.
Melt butter in large saucepan or pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, celery and tomatoes and saute until the onions are transparent, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the salt and peppers, then add the corn and milk from the cobs, the sugar and the evaporated milk and stir well.
Reduce heat to medium and cook until corn is tender, about 10-15 more minutes.
Adjust seasonings to taste.
