Labor day is approaching soon, the unofficial end of summer. Boy,that was super fast! Savor these last few days of summer with this delicious recipe for Grilled Chipotle Lime Corn on the Cob that is perfect for bbqs, and end of summer meals.

We have been picking, boxing, and delivering corn for a while now, and I think it is safe to say we are all looking forward to buttoning up corn season, but these last few weeks of corn are my favorite, and not just because there is an end in sight. The late season varieties of corn far outshine any of the earlier varieties.

The super sweet corn of late summer is the perfect pairing for a spicy Chipotle Lime butter sauce. The sweetness of the corn compliments the spicy and zesty butter perfectly.
