Fresh Corn on the Cob with Sage Butter

Makes 12 servings

 

Substitute sage with any of the following: basil, rosemary, parsley, thyme, oregano or chopped garlic. If you don’t have a grill the corn can be baked in a 350 degrees oven for 45 minutes. For a rustic look, peel down the cornhusks and leave intact. Spread kernels with butter and pull husks back into original position. Secure with string and cook as directed. To serve, pull down husks and use as a handle for easier eating. Can be made one day in advance if baked in an oven as directed above then cooled and refrigerated. Reheat on grill.
