Ingredients

  • 1 package (12 ct) frozen half-ears corn-on-the-cob
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 box (3.5 oz) achiote (annato) all-purpose seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup hot water, as needed
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, if desired

Instructions

  • Step

    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.

    Remove corn from hot water. Immediately spread or brush with sauce. Sprinkle with parsley. Refrigerate any remaining sauce.
