Ingredients

4
slices bacon
1
stick salted butter, at room temperature
1 cup
fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup
pickled jalapeño peppers, chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
6
ears of corn, shucked

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat a grill to medium high. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then crumble. Reserve the bacon fat.
2. Step 2Put the butter in a mini food processor and pulse until smooth. Add the parsley, jalapeños, bacon and 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat and pulse until the butter is light green but still slightly chunky. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Step 3Place each ear of corn on a separate sheet of foil and spread each with about 1 tablespoon of the bacon butter. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap tightly and grill, turning halfway through, until the corn is tender, about 6 minutes. Unwrap and spread with the remaining bacon butter.
