Sweet 'n' Spicy Roasted Corn

By: Erin Littlefield

"In Bryan, Texas, Erin Littlefield saves herself the trouble of husking those ears of sweet corn she brings to family picnics and get-togethers with this scrumptious grilling technique. My husband came up with the sweet and spicy glaze, she confides. It tastes really good, looks beautiful with the flecks of red pepper and requires much less butter than folks generally use."
