Grilled Corn on the Cob with Mint

Here's an easy way to enjoy your fresh mint while livening up a favorite summer vegetable.

Featuring the following Pantry Garden Herbs:

Mentha piperita
Common Name: Mint, Peppermint

6 ears of sweet corn in their husks

6 T butter cut in 12 equal pieces

6 sprigs of mint

Featured Herbs

Mint, Peppermint

Directions

Soak the corn in salt water for about an hour. (By doing so, the wet husks will steam the corn as it cooks keeping it moist.) Carefully peel the husks back without detaching them at the bottom and remove the silk. Pull the husks back up and around the corn, placing 2 pats of butter and a sprig of mint in each. Make sure the husks completely cover the corn kernels. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning frequently.
