Grilled corn on the cob slathered with Melt® is the perfect complement for a backyard picnic or dinner party. For this sweet and tangy treat, we blended Melt Organic with lime and honey and then sprinkled chopped cilantro generously on top. Grilling fresh corn in its husk steams the kernels, charring them ever so slightly. This summer favorite serves 4 to 6.
