Steaming the basil under the husks adds lots of flavor to these fantastic ears. Lime makes their sweet taste pop even more. —Diane Eaton, Campbell, California *Test Kitchen Approved

• 6 large ears sweet corn in husks
• 6 tablespoons stick margarine or butter, softened (Imperial or Blue Bonnet)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• Dash salt
• Dash garlic salt
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves
• Lime wedges

1. Carefully peel back corn husks to within 1 in. of bottoms; remove silk. In a small bowl, combine the margarine, dried basil, sugar, salt and garlic salt; spread over corn.
