Ingredients

  • 6 ears sweet corn (I like to use yellow or bi-color corn)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 jalapeno diced (seeded and ribs removed, as desired)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon fine ground sea salt or to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Remove the husks and silks from the corn and use a sharp knife to slice the kernels off the cob.
  • Melt the butter with the oil in a large skillet (cast iron works well) over medium heat. Add the corn and diced jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn is just starting to get tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the sugar over the top and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Continue to cook, stirring, for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until corn is tender to your liking and some of the kernels are beginning to brown slightly and caramelize. Serve immediately.
