Corn stock

After I cut the corn off a dozen ears last night, it occurred to me that it was a shame to waste those cobs with all the shreds of corn still clinging to them.  So I put them into a big pot, added a large onion that I peeled and quartered, and 1 tablespoon of salt.

I simmered this for a few hours and strained the liquid through a sieve.

It smells WONDERFUL!  Am going to use it for a base for my corn chowder -- should make it extra rich and yummy.

Warning, though -- it looks exactly like urine :)
