Happy Memorial Day friends! Even though it is a day off for most please take a moment and remember the meaning of Memorial Day. It's a day to remember all those who have died in our nation's armed services. There will be a lot of men and woman who are serving our country and will not be with their families and friends today like most of us, so please just keep them all in your thoughts and prayers that they return home safely to their families.
Today's post would be a great addition to your holiday cookout. I'm posting my family's favorite corn grilled corn on the cob recipe. One of the best things about summer is being able to cookout. We fire up the grill every weekend if not more during the week.
We love to have Grilled Corn on the Cob with just about any summer meal. Corn is crazy cheap in the summer, and I can usually pick them up at the store for 10 for $1.00. Summer is the perfect time to stock up your freezer with corn. There is just something about grilling the corn that just seems to intensify the flavor.
There's some disagreement on the best way to grill corn, with or without the husks, grilled directly on the grill with just the husks, or wrapped in foil. Today, I am going to show you the grilled foil method. I think wrapping the corn husks in foil and then placing them on the grill helps to keep the steam in and keeps the kernels from burning. Start by preheating your grill and carefully peel back corn husks to within 1 in. of bottoms; remove all the silks.

Grilled Corn on the Cob
fresh corn on the cob
Butter
Pepper & Lawrys Season Salt or Paula Deen House Seasoning
Heavy duty aluminum foil
Preheat your grill. Carefully peel back corn husks to within 1 in. of bottoms; remove all the silks. Spread butter mixture over corn. I use a pastry brush.
Sprinkle with whatever seasoning you want, Lawrys seasoning salt, regular salt and pepper or Paula's House Seasoning.
Re wrap corn in husks and place each corn cob in a separate piece of heavy duty aluminum foil and roll up.
Grill the corn, covered, over medium heat for 25-30 minutes or until tender, turning occasionally. Peel back husks and remove corn add more butter and seasoning salt and serve.
Cook's Note: You can also soak the corn in pot of cold water for 20 minutes before grilling. Then just leave the corn in the husks and grill. When done peel back the husks and remove the silk. I have added a photo so you can seeing how the corn looks when you grill it directly in their husks.

It's really whichever method your prefer. I always wrap mine in foil, but I have ran out before and had to grill it in the husks. Both ways work great. It may look burned on the outside, but the corn turns out perfectly cooked on the inside.

Coming as the wife of a military man, thanks so much for posting that. Sometimes it just seems like people think of it strictly as a holiday away from work and school and I really wonder if younger peeps understand the meaning behind some of these holidays like Memorial Day, ya know?
Have a great holiday!
thanks.
always forget that part.
