Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 ears corn in husks
1 canned chipotle chile-in-adobo
sauce -- or more, to taste
6 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt

Pull husks back from corn without tearing and remove silk.

Puree chiles in blender or mini-food processor. Heat butter, 1 1/2
teaspoons chipotle puree, garlic, cumin and salt over low heat until butter
melts and mixture is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir until well mixed.

Brush butter on corn and pull husks back over ears. Tie with string soaked
in water if necessary to hold husks around corn.

Grill corn over hot coals, turning as necessary (husks will scorch, which
gives smoky taste to corn) until done, about 12 minutes.

Notes: Look for ears with bright green, snugly fitting husks and golden
brown silk, not at all dry-looking. The kernels should be plump and milky,
even if they are small.
