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.
