GRILLED CORN WITH DILL
I like to peel the husks back and rub ears of sweet corn with delicious dill butter before putting them on the grill. The butter melts over the golden kernels as the corn steams inside the husk. -Jeannie Klugh, Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Steps:
- Cream 4 Tbsp butter with a fork in a medium bowl.
- Stir in 1/4 tsp salt, pinch of pepper and 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice and mix until smooth. The lemon juice will seem like it isn't blending, but keep mixing for a couple minutes and it will happen.
- Stir in fresh chopped dill until well incorporated. Keep the prepared butter at room temp until ready to serve corn.
- Preheat Grill to Med/High. Shuck corn. Leave the corn whole or break corn into halves or thirds if serving a large crowd. Wrap each ear of corn with a generous sheet of heavy duty foil making sure all sides are covered. If using regular kitchen-standard foil, double wrap the corn so it doesn't scorch.
- Grill foil-wrapped corn with the lid closed over medium/high heat, rotating the corn every 2 -3 minutes to keep from scorching. Grill for 15-20 minutes. Ours was done at 18 minutes. Once corn is finished grilling, remove foil and brush generously with lemon dill butter while warm.

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB WITH GARLIC WHIP, DILL AND FETA CHEESE
Steps:
- Heat a grill to medium. Remove the corn from the soaking water, shake it dry a few times and place on the grill. Grill, covered, until the kernels are tender, turning a few times, 20 to 30 minutes.

Blend until the mixture is emulsified and thickened; then continue blending until a thick, buttery consistency is reached.
- Remove the corn from the grill; pull back the husks, brush with the garlic whip, and sprinkle with feta and dill. Serve immediately.

GRILLED CORN WITH JALAPEñO-FETA BUTTER
This dish puts a spicy, cheesy spin on the classic buttered corn-on-the-cob. The ears are charred on the grill, then rubbed with a feta and jalapeño-flecked butter that melts all over the sweet, blackened kernels. The compound butter is perfectly adaptable. You can substitute other cheeses for the feta, and play around with different kinds of chiles and herbs. Be sure to save any leftover compound butter in the freezer. It's also terrific sliced on top of grilled or roasted chicken, fish or meats.

Steps:
- To prepare the jalapeño-feta butter, in a small bowl, mash together the butter, jalapeño, feta, cilantro, garlic, lime or lemon juice, salt and coriander.
- Divide the butter equally onto six pieces of parchment paper large enough to wrap them snugly (6-inch squares should do it), form into logs, and wrap well, twisting the ends like candy wrappers. Chill for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days before using, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Light the grill or heat the broiler, arranging the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Brush corn lightly with oil. Grill until charred on all sides, 3 to 6 minutes total.
- Transfer corn to plates, and serve each ear with a log of jalapeño-feta butter for rubbing onto the ear.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Heat the garlic and butter in a small saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes to infuse the butter with the flavor of garlic. Do not let the butter simmer. Stir together the sugar, salt, black pepper, and cumin in a small dish. Stir into the butter mixture along with the lime juice and hot sauce until evenly blended. Brush the ears of corn generously with the garlic butter; reserve remaining butter.
- Cook the corn on the preheated grill, rotating occasionally until the corn is hot and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Brush the corn with the remaining butter as the corn cooks.

Tips:
- Choose the right corn. Look for ears with fresh, green husks and tightly packed kernels. Avoid ears with brown or dried husks, or kernels that are loose or discolored.
- Soak the corn. Soaking the corn in cold water for at least 30 minutes before grilling helps to prevent the kernels from drying out.
- Grill the corn over medium-high heat. This will help to char the kernels slightly and give them a smoky flavor.
- Turn the corn frequently. This will help to ensure that the corn is cooked evenly.
- Brush the corn with melted butter. This will help to keep the corn moist and flavorful.
- Sprinkle the corn with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the corn.
- Serve the corn hot. Grilled corn on the cob is best served immediately after it is cooked.
Conclusion:
Grilled corn on the cob is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts. By following these tips, you can grill the perfect corn on the cob every time. So fire up your grill and enjoy this classic summer treat!
