Garlic Buttered BBQ Corn

Directions

1. 1
   Remove corn husk and silk.
2. 2
   place each cob on it's own sheet of aluminium foil.
3. 3
   cream together softened butter, garlic and parsley.
4. 4
   divide butter mixture equally among corn and smear liberally over cob.
5. 5
   sprinkle each cob with salt, fresh ground pepper and sugar to your liking.
6. 6
   (just a tiny pinch of sugar adds to the flavour of the corn and brings out the sweetness if the corn isn't one of the sweeter varieties).
7. 7
   wrap up each cob securly in the foil.
8. 8
   place on the bbq and grill for approximately 20 mins, turning occasionally (until corn kernels have slight give under pressure).
9. 9
   unwrap (carefull, they hold the heat for quite a long time) and enjoy!
10. 10
    CHOOSE YOUR CORN CAREFULLY!

    I reccomend peaches and cream corn and if when you're husking the cork it is already a dark yellow colour, it's not the best choice for this recipe (as IngridH likely experienced).

    I am actually a corn merchandiser and I highly suggest taking the time to pull the husk back a bit in the store to make sure you're getting corn that's a pale yellow and white mix of small scale firm kernals -- so you know you're not getting old corn!
