When the hot juice runs down your fingers … sweet corn is in season

Sweet corn is like nature’s snack food. A little salt and a little heat and you’ve got yourself a finger food as addictive as Pringles.

Grilled properly with a bit of butter, the stuff will even make you forget that hot dogs are on the grill, too. The kernels pop when bitten, the sweetness mixing with the hot butter and running down your fingers. Throw in some chili powder and lime juice, and you’re ready to start selling your grilled corn at the state fair next month in Sedalia.
