Herbed roasting ears

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Soft butter
1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
½ teaspoon Dried marjoram
6 Ears fres sweet corn husked and silked
1 Head romaine

Directions

[Just as the earliest New England settlers depended on corn for survival, pioneers in the Midwest regarded corn as a critical staple.

When sweet corn was in season, Shaker (and other, -my comment-) community members ate "roastin' ears" three times daily.) Blend butter with herbs; spread on corn. Wrap each ear of corn in 2 to 3 leaves of romaine; place in shallow baking dish. Cover tightly with foil. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 -25 minutes.
