There was a discussion in the Thread "Really Old Recipes" about Fried Corn and it got me thinking about a Food that I haven't made in a long Time, which is Parched Corn. We have discussed the making of Jerky, and Pemmican but to my knowledge we haven't discussed the Original Trail Food. With a Hand full of Parched Corn and a small amount of Jerky or Pemmican a Traveler could go all day. So this is how you make it:
Get some Sweet corn and allow it to dry, or remove it from the Cob and dry it out in your Dehydrator.
When it's dry put it in a Fry Pan with a little Oil or Lard and fry it until it turns a light Brown, some of the kernels may pop just like Pop Corn, but that's okay.
After it's done allow it to drain on a Paper Towel and blot away any excess Oil.
You can also Season it with anything you want, but I like just a little Salt.
After it has drained you can store it in a Zip Lock, but it's better to store it in a Cloth or Leather Bag.
Enjoy.
