Pan Fried Corn on the Cob

Since it's July 4th weekend and a lot of you will be cooking outside, here's a great BBQ side-dish recipe.

Fried Corn on the Cob

Ingredients

4 ears fresh corn

3 strips bacon

3 tbl. butter

1 tbl. brown sugar

1 tbl. molasses

14 tsp. garlic powder

2 tsp. soy sauce

water as needed

salt & pepper to taste

2 tsp. chives, finely chopped

Directions

·         Fry bacon until crisp, remove from heat and drain on paper towels (reserve bacon drippings - we use the bacon in our Potato Salad recipe - all you need for the corn is the pan drippings)

·         Add the. butter to the bacon drippings and melt over low heat

·         Add the brown sugar, molasses, garlic powder, soy sauce, and 2 tbl. of water – mix well

·         Add the ears of corn to the pan and cook over medium heat, turning the ears often

·         Add more water 1 tbl. at a time as needed for about 15 minutes

·         After 15 minutes stop adding water and let the corn fry in the remaining oil, turning often until lightly browned

Transfer to a serving dish and lightly sprinkle with the chopped chives
