    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel back the husks of the corn without detaching them from the bottom of the cob. Remove silk and fold husks back into place to cover the corn.
  2. Place corn in a sink or large bowl of water to soak for at least 15 minutes (it can soak overnight if needed).
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

  3. Place corn directly on the grill and cook 10-15 minutes turning occasionally.
  4. Remove from grill and serve with butter, salt & pepper to taste.
