Ingredients

  • 4 corn cobs
  • ¼ Cup red pepper jelly I used peach and pepper spread
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • canola oil to grease the grill grates

Instructions

  • Prepare the grill for direct cooking and preheat it up medium high.
  • When it’s hot, clean the grates and grease with canola oil.
  • Put the shucked corn cobs on the grill and cook for about 7 minutes until charred, turning occasionally.
  • Brush the pepper jelly mixture over the corn cobs, season to taste and sprinkle with green onions.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

Turn often: Turning frequently helps the corn cook evenly and prevents burning.
Brush red pepper jelly on hot corn: It helps the flavors soak in.
Use firm, fresh corn: The fresher the corn, the better the final result.
Don’t skip the garnish: Green onions add texture and contrast.
