Preparation

Step 1

We usually soak the corn in salt water for several hours to get the shucks moist. (add 2 Tbs. salt to 1 gallon of water).
Add spices and sugar to melted butter or olive oil and whisk to thoroughly mix in flavors.
Peel the shucks back, one at a time, until most of the corn is exposed and then remove the silk. With a pastry brush lavishly coat the corn with the spiced butter or olive oil.
Carefully close the shucks around the seasoned corn, sealing the end with a piece of soaked twine. Grill the corn over hot coals or high gas burners on the grill, turning frequently, until done, about 30 minutes. The shucks will often turn dark/black but will protect the corn. Carefully peel off the shucks and pass around. Have more melted spice butter available to brush on at the table with a pastry brush.
