Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons salted butter
• 1 teaspoon bacon fat
• 1 tablespoon fennel bulb, 1/8-inch diced
• 2 tablespoons onions, 1/8-inch diced
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 6 ounces heavy cream
• 2 slices jalapenos, 1/8-inch diced
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch pepper
• 1/2 ounce cream cheese
• sliced green onion (to garnish)

Recipe

• over medium heat melt the butter with the bacon fat. add the onion, fennel and jalapeño and cook about 5 minutes until translucent. add the corn and spices and cook for 5 minutes. add cream cheese and heavy cream and simmer until a heavy consistency is achieved (approx 10 minutes). stir frequently. once finished place in a serving dish and garnish with sliced green onions.
• note:i posted the recipe exactly as ruth's chris listed it but i often add a touch more cream cheese and on occasion have left out the jalapeno if i didnt have it on hand but no matter what do not omit the fennel bulb. it really makes this recipe and will not disappoint! again -- this is amazing with fresh corn cut off the cob. hint: since you use so little of the fennel bulb i have chopped up the rest and frozen it for future use and it works out perfectly.
