Grilled Sweet Corn with Maple-Cayenne Butter

Summer’s fresh corn has a natural sweetness, which is nicely enhanced by the smoky flavors imparted by the grill. Grade B maple syrup boasts a complementary sugariness and a slight smokiness that serves as a counterpoint to the spicy cayenne in the rich butter topping.
