Fresh Corn & Bacon Side Dish

• 1/4 cup butter
• 6 ears fresh corn on the cob
• 4 slices thick slab bacon

black pepper to taste

Place 4 slices of thick slab bacon in a frying pan, fry the bacon until cooked. Remove the bacon from the frying pan to paper towels to drain and cool. After the bacon has cooled, cut the bacon into one inch pieces. Place each corn cob on a plate, using a knife (or a gadget that removes the kernels from the corn) slice the corn kernels from the cob. Place the corn, plus any corn milk from slicing the kernels off the cob that may be one the plate, in a medium size saucepan. Add 1/4 cup butter plus the cooked bacon to the fresh corn in the pan. Cook the ingredients for about 15 minutes or until the corn is hot. Season with pepper and serve immediately.
