Description

Sweet & Spicy Honey Jalapeño Corn is a vibrant and flavorful side dish that brings together the sweetness of honey, the warmth of jalapeños, and the comforting taste of corn, perfect for barbecues or family dinners.


Ingredients

Scale

Corn

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen corn

Jalapeños

  • 2 diced jalapeños

Honey

  • 1/4 cup honey

Butter

  • 2 tablespoons butter

Lime Juice

  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, remove the husks and silk, then slice the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, simply thaw it and set it aside.
  2. Sauté the Jalapeños: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced jalapeños and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they soften and release their flavor.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the corn to the skillet along with the honey and lime juice. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the corn to become tender and absorb the flavors.
  4. Season and Serve: Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and garnish with your choice of fresh herbs or additional lime juice before serving.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh corn and jalapeños will give you the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the Spice: If you’re sensitive to heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeños before cooking.
  • Make it Ahead: This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated, making it ideal for entertaining.
  • Garnish Creatively: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different garnishes for added flair and flavor.
  • Balance the Sweetness: Taste as you go and adjust the honey and lime juice to achieve your desired balance of flavors.
