3 Cups of Corn (fresh, frozen or canned) about 3 ears

1/2 Cup Light Cream (I've used full cream milk and almond milk at times too)
1 Tbs Butter
2 Eggs - whisked
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Pepper
Light Olive Oil/Vegetable Oil for frying

Wozz! Green Tomato Jalapeno Pepper

Kasundi Remoulade Sauce

Ingredients

1/4 cup Wozz! Spicy Tomato Kasundi BBQ Sauce

Recipe

Prep Your Batter:

Sift all dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt and pepper) into a large bowl.

Make a well in the center and gradually whisk in the eggs and cream until well combined.

Allow to rest in the refrigerator while you prep your remaining ingredients.

Cook Your Corn:

Defrost and drain your corn.  If doing fresh, cook 3 ears in boiling water for 10 minutes. Refresh in cold water until cool enough to handle and remove corn from the cob.

I like to sauté my ham and corn in a skillet and get a little caramelization, but you could skip this step. 

Melt butter in a thick bottomed skillet. On a medium high heat, add ham and allow to brown a little on one side about 2-3 minutes.  Give the ham a toss and add the corn.  Turn off the heat and allow ham and corn to cool in the skillet without stirring.

While waiting for the ham and corn to cool, you can make your quick remoulade sauce.


Make your Kasundi Remoulade Sauce:

Mix all ingredients together until well combined.

Transfer to a serving bowl and keep refrigerated until ready to used.


Fry Your Fitters:

Combine your refrigerated batter, with the ham, corn and cilantro.

Heat vegetable oil in a thick bottomed skillet and fry fritters golden brown, about 3 minutes each side. Depending on the size, you should get 10-12 fritters or double if doing mini fritters as an appetizer. 

Pile high on a plate and serve with a garden salad, remoulade sauce and Wozz! Green Tomato Jalapeno Pepper Jelly.
