The reason I reduce so many of my sauce’s, marinades, spreads etc., is when you cook down something that starts out liquidly, the flavors intensifies. Sometimes I’ll make a big ol’ batch of the marinade and portion it out and freeze it. If you are not going to use this for the corn do not add the butter. If you don’t want to reduce this marinade, freeze it…and use it for another recipe but marinade the corn for a longer time. I’ve use this is Mexican soups, stews, taco’s etc…and as I always say let your imagination run wild. I served this corn with grilled strip steak and mashed taters.
