It would be great as a meal-in-one dish for a picnic or a reunion. My husband is a farmer, growing mostly grain. We have a daughter and a son, 14 and 13. All three of them became "fans" of this meal from the start!

Tips:

- Remove the husks and silks from the corn before cooking. Pull the husks back and remove the silks by hand. If the silks are particularly stubborn, you can use a vegetable brush to help remove them.
- Cook the corn in a large pot of boiling water. Add the corn to the pot and bring the water back to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the corn is tender.
- Drain the corn and let it cool slightly. Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the pot and drain the water. Let the corn cool slightly so that it is easy to handle.
- Brush the corn with melted butter and sprinkle with tarragon. Brush each ear of corn with melted butter and then sprinkle with tarragon. You can also add other seasonings, such as salt, pepper, or garlic powder, to taste.
- Serve the corn immediately. Tarragon corn on the cob is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can enjoy it as a side dish or as a main course.
