Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium saucepan, combine the undrained corn and sugar. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, maintaining a simmer. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the liquid has evaporated and the corn is coated in a shimmering glaze. This will take approximately 20-30 minutes. Patience is key to achieving the perfect texture.

04

Step

Serve immediately and savor the sweet harmony!

For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or a dash of vanilla extract during the last few minutes of simmering.
Monitor the heat closely to prevent the sugar from burning. A lower heat and frequent stirring are your best friends.
Fresh corn kernels (about 2 cups) can also be used, you may need to add 1/4 cup of water when boiling to ensure the sugar dissolves completely and coats the corn.
