    Pass through a food mill or strainer into a bowl, pressing against the solids to extract all of the essence.

    Stir in the cream, seasonings, and hot pepper oil. Taste for seasoning. Chill for at least 3 hours.

    Immerse the reserved corn and yellow pepper in boiling water for about 2 minutes. Drain, chill, and reserve
