Campfire Cookin'!

Cooking for a Crowd? Check this out!
This is a tradition among German people in Indiana, and it is for a crowd. It can be done at home, but with just a couple or so you don't get the variety in sausages that a crowd would get.
INGREDIENTS:
-Fresh corn with husks on
- Various sausages - have everyone bring their favorite kind
- Butter
PREPARATION:
Get grills ready and the charcoal glowing. Soak corn with husks on in water for at least 10 minutes. Cook sausages on the grill. Cook the corn in the husks until the husks are brown. Pull the husks back, but leave attached for a handle.
Buttering Tip: Have a 2-gallon jar or similar filled with hot water and butter on top. Dip the cooked corn into the jar, and it comes out buttered. The silk can be removed after the corn is cooked.
Servings: as needed
Preparation time: 30 minutes
