Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized ears of fresh corn, husked

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Corn: Start by husking the corn and removing all silk strands. Break off the stalks if necessary for easier handling. Rinse the corn under cool water to remove any remaining silk.

    Boil the Corn: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, carefully add the corn and cover the pot. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the corn is tender but still crisp.

      Make the Honey Butter: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter and honey. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Add the sea salt, ground cinnamon, and fresh lemon juice. Stir to mix all ingredients evenly.

        Drain and Cool the Corn: Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the pot and allow it to drain for a minute. Let it cool slightly before handling.

          Butter Up!: Using a pastry brush or a spoon, generously spread the honey butter mixture over each ear of corn. Ensure they are well-coated for maximum flavor!

            Garnish (Optional): For an added touch of freshness and color, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or cilantro over the buttered corn.

              Serve: Arrange the corn on a serving platter, serve immediately, and enjoy! This sweet honey butter corn on the cob pairs perfectly with summer BBQs or as a delicious side for any meal.
