CHRISTMAS CRACK CORN RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Prepare the popcorn using whatever method you prefer. If using a pot, 1 cup corn, 1/3 cup oil (grapeseed, vegetable, or canola) and ½ teaspoon salt should do the trick. If using microwave popcorn, buy an unbuttered, lightly salted variety. And did you know you can make your own microwave popcorn using a paper bag? Grease a large mixing bowl with oil and measure out 12 cups of popcorn into the bowl. In a medium pot or saucepan (make sure the sides are at least 3 inches high), add the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and ½ teaspoon salt. Measure out the vanilla and baking soda and have ready. Prep the peanuts (if using) before heating the sugar mixture. You will also want to have two spoons or rubber spatulas close at hand, and a large baking sheet with sides or roasting pan. Coat all of these with a little oil. Heat the sugar/butter mixture until it comes to a boil. Stir constantly for five minutes on a low boil. Take off the heat and add the baking soda and vanilla (it will get foamy). Stir to incorporate. Pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn (add the peanuts). Mix with the spoons/spatulas as best you can. Don't try to mix with your hands-the caramel will burn. Don't worry if it doesn't mix evenly. You can fix that in the oven. Dump the corn and caramel onto the prepared baking sheet, spread out as much as possible, and place in the preheated oven. Check after 10 to 15 minutes and stir the mixture. The caramel will soften and you should be able to mix it more thoroughly. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Allow the corn to cool completely and break up any large pieces before proceeding. Melt the chocolate, either in a double boiler or in the microwave (50% power, in 30 second increments), until just melted. Using a spoon, drizzle the chocolate over the pan of caramel corn. You want big chocolate bits, not tiny drizzles. Do not stir. Let chill in the fridge for 15 minutes before packaging or eating. Makes one large baking sheet of popcorn. It's never enough.

Steps:

Also, this just represents a starting point from which to balance out the flavors. It usually takes some tweaking at the end to get it just the way you want it. Use your tongue-brain and have fun!
CORN CRACK
Steps:
- Be sure to scrape down the cobs well using the back of a knife to get all of the corn juice. Stir into the corn, the flour, sugar, salt, white pepper, baking powder and butter. Beat eggs well then stir into half-n-half, then stir that into the corn mixture. Pour the mix into a 9x12 Pyrex baking pan. Bake in oven at 375 for one hour. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the best corn: Use fresh, sweet corn for the best results. Look for cobs with tightly packed kernels and a bright green color.
- Cut the corn off the cob properly: There are two ways to do this. You can use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob, or you can use a corn stripper. If you're using a knife, hold the cob steady with one hand and use the other hand to slice the kernels off the cob. If you're using a corn stripper, simply insert the cob into the stripper and turn the handle to remove the kernels.
- Cook the corn properly: Corn can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most popular method is to boil it. To boil corn, simply bring a pot of water to a boil and add the corn. Cook the corn for 3-4 minutes, or until it is tender. You can also cook corn in the microwave. To do this, place the corn in a microwave-safe dish and add a little water. Microwave the corn on high for 2-3 minutes, or until it is tender.
- Season the corn: There are many ways to season corn. You can add butter, salt, and pepper, or you can get more creative. Try adding herbs, spices, or cheese. You can also use corn as an ingredient in other dishes, such as salads, soups, and stews.
Conclusion:
Corn is a versatile and delicious vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you're boiling it, grilling it, or microwaving it, there's a corn recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a healthy and tasty side dish, give corn a try. You won't be disappointed.
