I set the finished pot of stock in the refrigerator to cool overnight and the fragrance that greeted me when I opened the door the following morning was almost unbelievable. My entire kitchen smelled like fresh corn while I was transferring it into jars. This goes beyond “better than store bought.” If it were possibly to buy something this amazing from the store, I’d be all over it. However, since this isn’t something that can be bought, I’ll be making corn stock every chance I get.
