BEER SOAKED CORN WITH SANTA FE BUTTER

Ingredients

  • 6 cobs corn with husks
  • 2 - 3 cans (355 mL each) beer
  • Santa Fe Butter (recipe below)*

Directions

  1. Carefully turn back husks of corn and remove silk. Remove all but innermost layer of husks, reserving a few pieces for tying. Fold innermost layer back over each cob. The kernels should be covered by, but still visible through, the last husk layer. Using reserved husk pieces, tie a thin strip around the tip of each cob to hold husks in place. Place cobs in a shallow nonreactive container; pour enough beer over cobs to cover. Allow cobs to soak for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  2. Preheat natural gas barbecue on medium-high heat for 10 - 15 minutes. Grill corn, turning occasionally, for 15 - 20 minutes. Remove husks and serve with Santa Fe Butter.

Tip:

Seasoned butters are a quick and delicious seasoning for breads and vegetables. They can also be used as a topping for grilled steak, chicken or fish. To use, toss hot grilled vegetables with the butter just before serving or top meat, chicken or fish with a dollop of the butter.
