Really good! I served it with corn on the cob and baked sweet potatoes. Can't wait to try it on cornbread. Thanks for posting.

This is wonderful for more than just corn! It's that sweet-heat that our family simply loves! The sweetness from the butter and honey, and the heat from the jalapenos. I think this would go great on pork, chicken, even smeared on pancakes and waffles. Because it's so hot here, I steamed the jalapeno in the microwave to soften and remove the skin and it still came out great! I also omitted the salt and used salted butter. Great recipe, thanks for sharing.
