Ingredients

5 ears fresh corn on the cob shucked and cleaned, cut in half
½ cup water
¼ cup melted butter divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons fresh parsley minced
1 tablespoon chives fresh or freeze dried

Instructions

Pour 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker. Lay in the cut corn.
½ cup water, 5 ears fresh corn on the cob
In a small bowl, mix together half the melted butter, lemon juice, and seasonings. Pour over the corn.
¼ cup melted butter, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper
Cover & cook on HIGH for 2.5 hours or LOW for 4 hours. Each slow cooker cooks differently - watch to make sure the water hasn't cooked off and add more if needed.
Once done, mix chopped parsley & chives with other half of melted butter & pour over corn before serving.
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chives, ¼ cup melted butter

Notes

Fresh or dried herbs can be used.
Each slow cooker cooks differently - keep an eye to make sure the water hasn't cooked off and add more if needed.
You can stack layers of corn, cook time will need to be adjusted up for additional ears.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Every slow cooker runs differently. Times given are a general recommendation and should be tested in your own slow cooker and adjusted as needed.
