Steps
1
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil over medium heat. Place the corn cobs into the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Cover, take off the heat and let steam for an additional 5 minutes or until tender. Let cool slightly.
2
Stand the corn cobs up in a bowl and run a knife down and across the kernels, as deep as you can go to remove them. Transfer the kernels to a blender or food processor. I added a pinch of paprika to this puree but that is optional. Blend for 1-2 minutes, or until smooth.
3
Serve in an age-appropriate way.
4
If serving for 6-12 months, make sure to serve the corin in 2-3 inch sections with a cut down the middle of each row of kernels.
