1
In 4-quart saucepan, place frozen corn-on-the-cob; cover with cold water. Heat to boiling over high heat. Cover and reduce heat slightly. Boil 4 to 6 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Do not overcook.
2
Meanwhile, cut achiote into 1/2-inch pieces. In blender, place oil, juices, achiote, garlic, marjoram and thyme. Cover; blend on high speed about 30 seconds or until smooth. With blender still running, pour in just enough hot water to make thick sauce.
3
Remove corn from hot water. Immediately spread or brush with sauce. Sprinkle with parsley. Refrigerate any remaining sauce.
Expert Tips
- Spread remaining sauce on favorite grilled meat or poultry.
- Grilling Directions: Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 12 (10x10-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Place half-ear of frozen corn on center of each sheet. Brush each with about 1 tablespoon of the sauce. (Refrigerate any remaining sauce.) Fold foil over corn so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again. Place corn on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 25 to 35 minutes, turning occasionally, until corn is tender when pierced with a fork. Cut large X across top of each packet; fold back foil. Sprinkle with parsley.
