How on earth do these few, extra ingredients to this corn make it so incredible? I was skeptical about using fennel and infusing this corn w/ a licorice taste, but this recipe is much more sophisticated than 'licorice'. This is quite simply a HUGE surprise to the tastebuds.

I tried this recipe with canned corn, drained. I also didn't have any green onion or tarragon on hand but the recipe was great even without it. It was a lot better than the store bought corn in butter sauce. I will have to try the original recipe ingredients next time. Thanks so much for this recipe. It was truly a winner.

I used can corn and am usually not a huge fan of it but this really doctored it up and made it amazing. I was too lazy to chop an onion but it's great even without it! I will be using this often! Thanks Kitten!

Love it! It is simple to make but so much better than just corn with a little butter on it. Thanks for posting. I will be making this again.

Just one bowl to wash up, nice flavourful sauce although I substituted oregano for tarragon. I loved the fresh black pepper. Thanks for a nice, fast and easy side dish
