Great corn! The butter is outstanding, and I can see having that butter on many other things, including a steak as Nancy said! I took a short cut and cooked the corn in the microwave, then put it on a cast-iron grill pan to get the nice grill marks and to brown up. So delicious! Thanks for sharing this keeper!

Just loved the bright fresh taste that this butter imparts to corn on the cob. And DH has learned to love the corn grilled, too! I even tried this on a piece of cheddar bacon bread that I'd made. I licked my lips and wished for more! Thanks for sharing, breezermom!

We loved this jalapeno lime butter! In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we not only served it on our corn, but on our grilled ribeye steak as well. The cilantro, lime zest and lime juice really made this buttery spread absolutely delicious!!! Will definitely keep this stuff on hand. Made for the Newest Zaar Tag, June, 2012.
