Sweet maple syrup and smoky chipotles give this grilled corn an unbelievable flavor.

Who doesn’t love grilled corn or better yet, the first corn of the summer season?

Make that first serving of corn unforgettable with this absolutely terrific basting sauce.

Zippy and sweet

 

I love the smoky flavor of chipotles and it combines so well with the sweetness of the maple syrup.  Add some seasonings and of course butter, and there you have it. Simple yet so very good.

Try this basting sauce with other grilled veggies!  It’s pretty universal in nature and would go with most anything.

Ingredients

• 6 ears fresh corn husked
• oil for grill

BASTING SAUCE

• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 tsp finely minced garlic
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tbs finely chopped chipotle in adobo
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

• Place all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Preheat grill to medium-high. Oil grill so corn does not stick. FYI--I use a small spray bottle or a Misto especially for the grill. I also have another plastic spray bottle with water to extinguish any flame flare-ups.
• Baste corn with sauce and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has caramelized. Baste top of corn and turn. Cook for 3-5 minutes as before.
• Remove from grill and serve immediately. Leftover sauce may be stored covered in the refrigerator -OR- served along with the corn for additional dipping.
• Makes 6 servings.
