Method 4 steps
Rinse the corn a number of times; pick out floating hulls.
Put rinsed corn into a nice, large pot and add enough water to cover by 3–4 inches (7.5–10 cm).
Bring corn to a boil and put the pork into the pot.
Turn stove down to medium-low and simmer for 2–3 hours. Stir occasionally to avoid scorching. You may have to add water as it boils away.
