Roasted Corn on the Cob

Judy from Hawaii's Note:

This is an easy, but very flavorful way to make corn on the cob. When I was growing up, we used to just boil corn, but this is so much better. This recipe is adapted from "The Pleasures of Gasgrilling".

• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• ½ cup butter , softened
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon dried rosemary , crumbled
• ½ teaspoon dried marjoram , crushed
• 6 ears corn

Directions:

1. Cream butter& salt till fluffy.
2. Blend in rosemary& marjoram.
3. Hold at room temperature for one hour to blend flavors.
4. Turn back husks of corn& remove silk with a stiff brush.
5. Place each ear of corn on a square of tin foil.
6. Spread corn with approximately 1 T of butter mixture.
7. Rplace husks and wrap foil around ears.
8. Place wrapped corn on preheated gas grill.

10. Note: I am sure this could be done equally well over charcoal.

DH said he really enjoyed this as he was eating his 2nd ear of corn! Very easy to prepare. I didn't have time to let the butter sit for 1 hour but it was on the corn about 20 minutes before going on the grill. Enjoyable nonetheless.

I loved the flavor the majoram added to the corn. I didn't have any rosemary, so I skipped that.

So, I thought I'd adapt this a bit and roasted it in the oven. I used no oil/butter and wrapped each ear in foil with a small sprig each of fresh rosemary and oregano. I was using the oven at 325° and the corn roasted for 30 minutes (because I forgot to put it in until it was too late). Not nearly long enough or hot enough and the rosemary was overwhelming. I'd recommend following the recipe or make adjustments accordingly.
