INSTRUCTIONS
Cook corn in boiling water for 4 minutes. Remove and allow it to cool.
Over medium fire, grill corn 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly brown. Brush
with syrup and continue to grill an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until
syrup begins to caramelize and corn has brown marks. Remove corn from grill
and cool.
With sharp knife, cut kernels off cobs.
In saute pan or large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp,
about 5 minutes. Add onion and cook an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until
onion is clear. Add corn and cook 2 minutes longer. Remove corn mixture
from heat, add sage and season with salt and pepper.
Notes: From ``The Thrill of the Grill,'' by Chris Schlesinger and John
Willoughby (Morrow, 1990). Searching for something different to do on the
grill, I found this dish, which is served with a pork tenderloin in the
book. It's a wonderful summer side dish served at room temperature or cold.
Fresh sage makes all the difference.
