The seasonally fresh corn offers sweet & smoky notes since it’s prepared on the grill. Look to The Basics: Sweet Corn for pointers on how to cut it off of the cob. The jalapeño slices over the top of the muffins do add substantial heat. Use your personal taste as a guide. Learn how to make this iconic quick bread featuring summer-fresh garden produce.
