Photo: Anna Williams; Styling: Pam Morris
This easy, 5-ingredient grilled corn gets its flavor from jalapeño peppers that are roasted, chopped and stirred into honey butter.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Place jalapeño on grill rack coated with cooking spray; cover and grill for 10 minutes or until blackened and charred, turning occasionally.
Step 3
Place jalapeño in a small paper bag, and fold tightly to seal. Let stand for 5 minutes. Peel and discard skins; cut jalapeño in half lengthwise. Discard stem, seeds, and membranes. Finely chop jalapeño. Combine jalapeño, butter, lime rind, honey, and salt in a small bowl; stir well.
Step 4
Place corn on grill rack. Cover and grill for 10 minutes or until lightly charred, turning occasionally. Place corn on serving plate; brush with jalapeño butter.

This was fabulous!!!! I thought my grilled jalapeno was too spicy so I left it out of the kid's butter mixture, however, the butter mix actually tamed it completely. Delicious!

Made this quick side dish with summer corn abudant in the stores; excellent flavors and really takes a twist on a veggie that can get a tad 'boring.' Didn't bother to roast the jalapeno, as I wanted some real heat / didn't want to mellow out the flavor. Would absolutely make again; enjoy!

mandofan's Review
Made this for a cook-out last night and it got rave reviews. I saved some time on the jalapenos by blistering them over an open gas burner in the kitchen. Also, just as a warning, this is a bit spicy hot, so be prepared. Not mouth scorching, but it does pack a little heat.

All I can say is this butter was referred to as magic, as in "please pass me more of that magic butter!" We also tried pre-coating the corn and wrapping it in foil before placing on the grill. That infused the taste directly into the corn very well.

Excellent compound butter, great on gently-grilled, super-sweet corn. Made the butter to recipe earlier in the day, rolled it up in plastic wrap to chill & sliced just before plating. Served with CL's chipotle pork tacos and Pacifico beer. Very good.
To roast corn....
