GRILLED CORN ON THE COB WITH MAPLE-CHIPOTLE GLAZE
I made this from memory last Monday so I forgot to add the garlic. It was still hella good.

Maple syrup lends sweetness and chipotle chilies add smoky heat to a terrific glaze for grilled corn on the cob.
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chilies*
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ears fresh corn, husked
Bring first 5 ingredients to simmer in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until glaze is reduced to 3/4 cup, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. (Glaze can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Brush corn with some of glaze. Grill until lightly charred in spots, turning frequently, about 8 minutes. Transfer corn to platter. Brush corn with remaining glaze. Sprinkle generously with salt and serve.
* Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets and some supermarkets.
