Steps:
- To make the butter, finely grate the ginger and squeeze out the excess juice. Put the flesh in a bowl with all the other butter ingredients, plus 1⁄2 tsp ground black pepper and 1 tsp salt, and mix well until even. Can be made ahead: save 2 tbsp at room temperature (this is for brushing over the corn as it cooks), then roll the rest into a sausage shape, wrap in cling film and chill. Slice into rounds before serving.
- Boil the corn for 5 mins until bright yellow but not yet cooked through; cool under cold water and drain well. If using the bacon, stretch each piece a little using the back of a knife, then tie around the middle of the corn, tucking in the ends. Can be prepared up to 1 day ahead and kept in the fridge.
- Heat the grill to as high as it will go, or get the barbecue ready. The coals should be white and glowing before you begin cooking. Grill or barbecue for 10 mins, turning often, until the corn is tender and golden, and the bacon crisp (if using). Brush with a little of the soft jerk butter as it cooks. Transfer to a dish, top with more of the butter and let it melt. Serve with napkins and a cold beer!

Steps:
- Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.

- Place the butter, parsley, and garlic in a mixing bowl and whisk or beat until smooth and creamy.
- Lightly brush the corn with a little of the butter and arrange on the grate, positioning the ears in such a way that the husks are away from the fire. Grill the corn until the kernels are handsomely browned on all sides, turning as needed, basting with the remaining butter, and most important, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Serve at once and get ready for one of the most fabulous tastes in life.

Steps:
- Heat grill to medium. Remove outer layers of husks from 8 ears corn. Grill corn, turning often, until kernels burst easily when pressed, 15 to 20 minutes (husks will be quite charred).
- Meanwhile, make Seasoned Butter: In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup melted butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or a combination of 1/2 teaspoon paprika and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
- Peel back husks and silks from corn, brush with seasoned butter, and serve.
GRILLED CORN WITH CHILE BUTTER
In South Africa, charred ears of corn (called braai mielies) are year-round, smoky-sweet roadside snacks. This version is a side dish for the American summer, when corn and grilling are both in season. The cobs are slicked with butter and sparked with chile heat; in South Africa, they would be served alongside a pile of charcoal-grilled lamb chops or steak or giant prawns, or all of the above. For a more rustic effect (and more effort), use the corn husks as a wrapper instead of aluminum foil. Soak the unshucked cobs in cold water for at least 15 minutes. Peel back the husks but do not detach them from the cobs; remove all the cornsilk. After rubbing on the butter, rearrange the husks around each cob and tie in place with twine.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for high-heat cooking. For each corn cob, tear a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap it completely.
- In a bowl, combine the butter, chile, garlic (if using), salt and pepper. Mix well and taste. Adjust the seasonings; add drops of hot sauce if the butter is not spicy enough. Set aside.
- Shuck the corn. Use your hands to rub butter mixture thoroughly onto each cob, reserving about 1/4 of the mixture for basting. Wrap each buttered cob in aluminum foil.
- When ready to cook, place cobs on the grill (or, if the fire is low, in the coals) and cook 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until steamed and cooked through.
- Unwrap and place on the grill. Use remaining butter to baste the corn as it grills, turning it until lightly charred and cooked through. Serve immediately with lime wedges, if using.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender corn on the cob. Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks.
- Soak the corn in cold water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help prevent the kernels from drying out.
- Use a high-quality olive oil or butter for your jerk butter. This will give the corn a rich, flavorful taste.
- Be generous with the jerk seasoning. The more seasoning you use, the more flavorful the corn will be.
- Grill the corn over medium-high heat. This will help to caramelize the kernels and give them a slightly smoky flavor.
- Rotate the corn frequently while grilling. This will help to ensure that the corn cooks evenly.
- Cook the corn until the kernels are tender and slightly charred. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes.
- Serve the corn immediately with additional jerk butter, if desired.
Conclusion:
Grilled corn with jerk butter is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts. The combination of sweet corn, spicy jerk seasoning, and creamy butter is irresistible. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
