Corn Boiled in the Husks

Remove the green outside husks; strip down the inner husks and carefully remove the silk from the corn. Then replace the light husks and tie them at the upper end of the ear. Have ready a kettle of fresh boiling water, throw the corn into it, and boil, after it begins to boil, five minutes. Serve at once in a corn cloth.
