Corn Cob Molasses Recipes

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 250 deg.
• Place butter in a medium pot, on medium heat.
• While the butter's melting, pop the corn and put it in a large roasting pan. I used a disposable aluminum pan and a hot air popper (you won't need to butter the pan).
• Keep an eye on the butter and add the sugar, molasses, and salt to it as soon as its melted.
• Bring the candy to a boil and stir and cook it only till the sugar melts and the butter blends in entirely - just a couple minutes.
• Turn off the heat and stir the vanilla and peanuts into the candy.
• Quickly add the baking soda and stir untill it's well mixed. It foams to make a lighter, more delicate candy.
• Pour the candy over the popcorn and toss untill it's evenly coated.
• Put the popcorn in the oven for 1 hour, tossing every 15 or 20 minutes.
• Let it cool completely before breaking up and putting into an airtight container.
• I developed this recipe by hacking others because I couldn't find another to suit me. I made this for Christmas treats and it was INHALED, you'll find it tastes like Cracker Jack; that candy is made with molasses, not corn syrup, I got a box yersterday to compare.
• You can easily double this, but double the baking time too.

Steps:

• Boil the corncobs about 45 minutes in 3 pints of water. Take out the cobs, strain, and add 1 pound of brown sugar. Boil this down until you get a nice syrup consistency.
• This makes a nice substitute for maple molasses. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut 5 squares of aluminum foil 1 1/2 times the size of the ears of corn; place each ear of corn in the center of a piece of foil.
• Stir mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, chili powder, ground black pepper, and fresh parsley together in a bowl until it forms a thick paste; rub about 2 tablespoons of the paste over each ear of corn. Wrap the aluminum foil around the corn and seal. Arrange corn on a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, turn, and continue baking another 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Split open the chile and discard stems and seeds. Place chile in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Allow the chile to soak for 10 minutes until soft. Remove from water and puree in a blender or food processor, use a little water to help puree them if necessary. Strain the puree through a fine mesh to remove solids.
• In a small saucepan over high heat, reduce the orange juice until it is a thick syrup and yields 1 T, about 5 minutes. Let cool (this step is important, you need all items at the same temp for everything to come together). In a food processor, combine the reduced orange juice, butter, ancho chile puree, molasses, orange zest, salt and pepper. Remove the flavored butter to a small bowl and set aside.
• Grill the corn on the barbecue, about 8 minutes over medium heat, turning as necessary to brown evenly.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients until well blended. Put in greased 9-inch round pan.
• Bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes. Cut in wedges, butter generously and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 375°F Lightly grease 12 muffin cups.
• Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Make a well in the center.
• In a separate container, beat together the remaining ingredients. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, and stir just enough to combine thoroughly.
• Fill the muffin cups just up to the edge of the pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove the muffins from the pan right away, and cool on a rack for at least 10 minutes before eating.

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Mix butter, orange juice concentrate, chipotle chiles, molasses, and salt in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until melted, about 20 seconds (or melt butter in saucepan with next 4 ingredients over medium-low heat). Stir in cilantro. Grill corn until beginning to blacken in spots, turning occasionally, about 3 minutes. Brush generously with glaze. Grill until glaze sets, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer to platter and brush corn with additional glaze. Serve, passing remaining glaze and additional salt separately.
