The fastest, east way to cook and husk sweet corn.
I wrote about this hack and my other favorite in my newsletter on Substack called Great Bakes.
Hat tip to Julia Turshen for sharing this way of cooking corn. Now you have no excuses to not be having sweet corn at every meal while it’s in season.

Apricot + Lemon Verbena Jam.
For me, apricot is the queen of jams. I capture these tangy, blushing Michigan apricots in a jar so that they can visit me when we hunker down for the winter.

Pitting and Freezing Cherries
Did you hit the jackpot and snag a flat (8 quarts) of tart cherries? Time to get pitting! Make your cherries last all year long by freezing them. Frozen tart cherries are just as good as fresh ones to bake with! Future you will be grateful for a freezer full of these gems, ready for pie at a moment’s notice.
My favorite cherry pitters:

Tart Cherry 101
My #1 cherry to bake and cook with: Montmorency tart cherries. These little sour rubies have a sweet-tart and slightly astringent taste raw, but when cooked with some sugar they transcend into the world’s best dessert fruit. Sweetened dried tart cherries are my favorite dried fruit, by far, and taste fantastic in a ton of desserts, like chocolate chip cookies, fruitcakes, and much more. Michigan grows more than 70% of the tart cherries in the US, and the region around Traverse City grows the most. For those outside the midwest, you can find frozen pitted tart cherries at some grocery stores or you can order them online for all of your baking needs

![Cherries 101. 🍒🤓 Black cherries (like Bing cherries and other varieties): Dark color, deep dark flesh. Best eaten fresh, OK in cooking, but lack acidity, so you don’t need much additional sugar. If baking with these, I use some tart cherries, lemon juice, or another tart fruit to balance the flavor. Rainier cherries: Pink-ish/golden color, creamy-colored flesh. subtle, fresh, sweet, almost peachy. Again, best eating fresh, but pair nicely with tangy fruit like apricots or raspberries. Montmorency tart cherries: Bright red, white flesh, soft texture. A bit tart and astringent, so not for eating fresh. The ultimate cherry for baking and the only real option for cherry pie. When baking with these, they need a decent amount of sugar and they transform into that bright red, cherry-candy like flavor. Heaven. [Not pictured] Balaton tart cherries: Dark red, deep red flesh, soft texture but a bit firmer than Montmorency. Too tart to eat plain, but not as tart as Montmorency. A bit of a subtle spicy flavor. Good for canning or candying. Great for baking and they’re lovely to mix with Montmorency in a pie.
