Corn on the Cob With Garlic Ancho Butter
"By far, nothing compares...going down to the farms and picking fresh corn on the cob and eating it the same day. This versatile butter has a nice kick to it and can be used to flavour steaks, veggies, potatoes, bread, etc. I have tried different chilies with great success"

While looking for new corn on the cob recipes, I ran across this one that I've made several times before. It's really good. It makes a fair amount of butter, so I freeze some for future use. Thanks for posting this one - it's a real keeper.
