Kernels from 2 ears corn (1 1/2 cups)

The stuffed tomatoes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used very ripe peaches. I'll try it again with less ripe peaches next time.

The stuffed tomatoes were a bit too sour for my taste, but I think that's because I used unripe tomatoes. I'll try it again with ripe tomatoes next time.
