Corn And Pepperoni Skillet Dinner
Contributed by: NAPSA
Supersweet Corn, Perfect in Skillet Dinners (NAPSA) - Few things could be nicer at the end of a long day than a quick one-skillet dinner. Add fresh Supersweet Corn coblets and your skillet supper is suddenly special!
This delicious field-ripened corn earned the "Supersweet" name because its natural sugar converts to starch at a slower pace than other varieties. Supersweet Corn is in season from October until mid-July-ready to go into your family's favorite meals. If your crew goes for hearty Italian flavors, try Corn and Pepperoni Skillet Dinner, a meal that cooks fast...and disappears just as quickly.
To keep your fresh corn sweet and tender longer, store ears in the refrigerator, husked and wrapped loosely in plastic.
