Grilled Corn in Herb Butter

537

I love grilled corn. Its so natural, so tasty, so Quebec.  Corn is being harvested now and it is yummy.  I was talking to a farmer today at Marché de Jardiners in La Prairie and he said that the timing of the picking is what makes corn sweet.  They have to be picked young.  When left on the vine they become pasty.  Good to know for the next time your picking corn!!!
