When our son was young, corn was the only vegetable he’d eat. My husband and I soon got bored with the simple salt and butter topping, so I stirred in some lemon juice and chives.—Sue Kirsch, Eden Pairie, Minnesota

• 1/2 cup butter, melted

• 2 tablespoons minced chives

• 1 tablespoon Imperial Sugar® / Dixie Crystals® Granulated Sugar

• 1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

• Salt and pepper

 

Directions:

1.  Soak corn in cold water for 1 hour. In a small bowl, combine the butter, chives, sugar, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Carefully peel back corn husks to within 1 in. of bottom; remove silk. Brush with butter mixture. Rewrap corn in husks and secure with kitchen string.

2.  Grill corn, uncovered, over medium heat for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally. Yield: 6 servings.
