Memories of Nantucket and a quick recipe

POSTED ON September 10, 2012

I’m back in the swing of things after spending half of August in lovely Nantucket. I wanted to share a simple recipe before fall swoops us up and a pot of soup is on the stove, which isn’t far off!

Herbed sweet corn

My sister made this tasty corn salad when she came out to Nantucket to surprise me for a few days.  On one of the evenings, she combined leftover grilled corn with fresh herbs and seasoned it with umeboshi vinegar. The simple ingredients taste delicious combined and make a great topping for plain cooked grains. Hope you can make a batch before the sweet corn finishes!
