« on: September 24, 2008, 10:35:22 AM »
So how many of you make parched corn and what spices do you add (if any) for this snack?

Usually nothing, but sometimes I do brown or maple sugar.   Just dried corn in a dry skillet, brown, and sprinkle on the sugar while it's still hot.  I use it as trail food, and I don't need extra salt what with the salt pork or jerk or bacon I'm carrying.  BUT, if it's all that I am carrying, then I will add the sugar.  I have a history of attracting ants and other critters when the sugar is on the corn, so I don't do it much in warmer months.

If I have the time, in cold weather I will boil it with some salt pork, and that is tasty and filling.

I carry it on every trip.  Salt is usually the only seasoning.  
I have been know to make the Eastern delicacy of parched corn, walnuts and maple sugar.  Great energy food on the trail!

Omit the grease.

There's no need to use grease on the pan, just dry roast the corn.

You can also make rock-a-hominy if you coarse grind the kernels after parching.  I found that bacon grease doesn't keep indefinite, and I've kept dry parched corn for several years without it going bad.
