Ingredients

For the Jalapeño Honey Butter Bath:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 jalapeños, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt to taste

For the Corn:

• 6 ears of fresh corn, husked and cleaned
• Water, for boiling

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Jalapeño Honey Butter Bath

1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter and honey. Mix until well blended.
2. Add the finely chopped jalapeños, minced garlic, lime juice, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Corn

1. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
2. Add the husked and cleaned corn to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the corn for about 7-10 minutes, or until tender.
3. Remove the corn from the water and let it drain briefly.

Step 3: Apply the Jalapeño Honey Butter Bath

1. While the corn is still warm, brush or spread the jalapeño honey butter mixture generously over each ear of corn.
2. For extra flavor, you can also return the buttered corn to a hot grill for a couple of minutes to get a slight char and enhance the flavor. This step is optional.

Step 4: Serve

1. Serve the jalapeño honey butter bath corn immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of additional salt if desired.
2. Enjoy this spicy, sweet, and savory corn as a side dish at your next barbecue or dinner!

Tips and Variations

• Adjust the Heat: If you prefer less heat, use only one jalapeño or remove the seeds and membranes.
• Extra Sweetness: Add a bit more honey to the butter if you prefer a sweeter taste.
• Grilled Corn: For a smoky flavor, grill the corn instead of boiling it, then brush with the jalapeño honey butter.
