Grilled Corn With Honey-Ancho Chile Butter image

A really delicious and flavourful recipe from Bon Appétit (July 2010). Any leftover chile butter would be great on roasted sweet potatoes or cornbread. If you make the butter in advance, take it out of the fridge before serving to allow it to soften.
