Farm Girl Tips
- No need to soak the corn before grilling. Fresh sweet corn cooks beautifully right on the grill grates.
- The fresher the corn, the sweeter and juicier it will be.
- Grilling without the husks allows the kernels to develop a smoky, charred flavor.
- For extra buttery corn, brush with melted butter immediately after removing it from the grill.
- Don't worry if some kernels become darker than others. Those charred spots add flavor.
- Leftover corn can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
