More recipes from Foodland Ontario:

Strawberries: Keep strawberries refrigerated with the green hulls on. Quickly rinse under cold running water just before using. Use within 2-3 days.

Raspberries: Do not rinse raspberries until just before using. Raspberries are an extremely soft fruit and do not keep for days. Use immediately.

Corn: Refrigerate and keep cobs in their husks until just before cooking.

Microwaved corn on the cob

Place corn cob with husk on in the microwave and cook on high for approximately 6 minutes, turning over halfway through cooking. The cobs will be very hot, so protect your hands with a dishtowel when removing the cornhusks.

Serve with butter and salt.

Adjust time for more cobs, cooking up to 4 cobs at a time.
