• 3. After that time poke a hole in the corner of the bag and carefully put the marinade in a pot.

• 5. Cook the marinade on a rather high heat, till it is reduced to less than 1 cup.

• 7. Once the sauce has reduced let this mixture get cold and mix this with the butter and set aside, if you are using it later put this in the refrigerator.
• 8. Make sure the mixture is "not" warm; you don't want to melt the butter.

• 10. Slather " I just love that word " the spread on the corn and enjoy.

PLEASE TRY! NUKED CORN ON THE COB, NO SHUCKING!

Steps:

• 1. Place entire unshucked ear of corn in the microwave... husk, silk and all.
• 2. Microwave for 4 minutes. (Increase time if doing more than one ear.)
• 3. Remove from microwave. Caution... it will be hot. (I used my rubber, kitchen dish washing gloves.)
• 4. This is the amazing part! Stand the corn up in the sink vertically, with the silk facing up and the stalk end balancing in the sink. Run warm water over the top silk end and gently start to peel. The water will instantly wash away any silk and husk. Break off husk from ear at bottom and you're ready to eat!
• 5. My father-in-law (...a corn farmer), told me about this last night and I didn't believe him until now. It tastes so much better than boiled. Great for small families, empty-nesters or retirees who don't want to lift heavy pans of boiling water. Recipes for flavored butters follow in the comments section. Give it a try... you'll never go back to boiled again!
