Sweet Grilled Corn on The Cob with an Orange Butter

Yield: 6 cobs

Ingredients

• 6 fresh corn cobs not shucked, silk removed
• ½ cup room temperature unsalted butter (125ml)
• 1 tablespoon orange zest (15ml)
• Salt and pepper

Directions

1. To prepare the corn, remove the silk but keep the husks on.
2. Place corn in a large container of cool water and submerge. Allow corn to soak for 1 hour.
3. Remove corn from the water and shake off any excess water.
4. Prepare barbeque for medium high heat direct grilling (375°F) (190°C). Oil the grill to prevent sticking.
5. Place corn on the grill and cover the barbeque.
6. Cook the corn for 4-5 minutes (turning twice) or until you hear sputtering and the husks are nice and charred.
7. To prepare the butter, combine the butter, orange zest, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Mix to combine ingredients evenly.
8. Place the butter on a large piece of plastic wrap.
9. Using the plastic wrap as a guide, roll butter into a cylinder shape. Place butter in the refrigerator until needed. Alternatively, you may mix the butter with orange zest, salt and pepper and serve in a bowl with the corn.
10. Remove corn from grill and cool a few minutes.
11. Using a towel grasp the ear of the corn and pull down the husk.
12. Slice the butter into rounds and top the corn with butter.
