Grilling Corn

There is nothing like the flavors of fresh sweet corn and in many areas of the country the farmers markets and produce aisles are stocked with the freshest of this year’s sweet corn.  This year I’ve taken to grilling our sweet-corn in the husks.  It’s super easy and there’s no foil and boiling water involved!

First, take your sweet corn, in the husk and put it in a sink or bowl of cold water for ten minutes.  The idea is to soak the husk so that the extra moisture will help steam the corn and keep the husks from igniting on the grill.



Once saturated, peel back the husk and remove all the silk.  Add butter, if desired.



Close the husks back up, making sure that they fully cover the corn cob.  Take a strip of an outside husk and tie the husk shut.



Place corn, on the hot grill over medium low heat/coals for about 20 minutes, turning half way through.

Remove from grill, pull back the husk and serve as is, or remove husks to serve.
