Have you tried any of the ears of popping corn? It’s really easy to turn them into a delicious treat. Amaze your family and friends with magical popcorn.
Easy CSA Microwave popcorn
- Put a cob in a paper bag and fold it over.
- Microwave for about 90 seconds. (Just like with store-bought microwave popcorn, listen for the popping to slow to about 1 per second and err on the side of less time.)
- Carefully remove and top with salt, butter, or other seasonings.
Before, I popped the kernels off of the cob and then popped them on the stove in oil. But the microwave method is easier. If you want to make it on the stove, though, here’s how. (This post also includes a recipe for making caramel corn.)
We just sent my step-son, who’s off at a college, a care package that included a cob, a paper bag, and some salt. (He’ll have to find his own butter.)
thoughtful consumption 
I pulled all my kernels off the cob already. I am curious how they would do in a folded paper sack in the microwave. Any thoughts? Also, are you planning to attend the open farm day next weekend? I plan to stop by and hope I get the chance to meet you. I really enjoy your blog!
I think it’s worth a try. That’s how store-bought microwave popcorn works, right? We have some de-cobbed kernels, too, so at some point I’ll have to try it. Let me know if you get there first.
I’m going to be out of town on the 17th. I’m pretty bummed about missing open farm day. I’m glad you’re going – it’s fun to see the farms and meet the farmers.
Maybe later we could plan some kind of CSA-er potluck event….
