Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 corn cobs, shucked
- ¼ cup red pepper jelly (peach and pepper spread recommended)
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Canola oil, for greasing the grill grates
Instructions
- Prepare the grill: Preheat your grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat.
- Grease the grill: Once hot, clean the grill grates thoroughly and apply canola oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the corn: Place the shucked corn cobs directly on the grill grates. Cook for about 7 minutes, turning occasionally until the corn is nicely charred on all sides.
- Brush with jelly: Remove the corn from the grill and immediately brush each cob generously with the red pepper jelly mixture.
- Season and garnish: Season the glazed corn with salt and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle thinly sliced green onions over the top for a fresh, flavorful finish.
- Serve hot: Serve the grilled corn immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh corn for best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have a grill, this recipe can be adapted to a grill pan on the stovetop.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper jelly to suit your preferred level of sweetness and spice.
- Canola oil is recommended for greasing because of its high smoke point.
- Turning the corn regularly ensures even charring and prevents burning.
