Corn on the Cob (Grilled)

By Christie

If your corn isn't as sweet as you'd like, stir 1/2 cup of sugar into the water along with the salt. Avoid soaking the corn for more than 8 hours, or it will become overly salty.

Ingredients

• Brine
• Salt and pepper
• 8 ears corn, husks and silks removed
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, or 1 recipe flavored butter (see related recipes)

Preparation

Step 1

1. In large pot, stir 1/2 cup salt into 4 quarts cold water until dissolved. Add corn and let soak for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.

2. Grill corn over hot fire, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until kernels are lightly charred all over, 10 to 14 minutes. Remove corn from grill, brush with softened butter, and season with salt and pepper. Serve.
