Took me only 20 minutes to prepare. Even the kids who usually don't like corn enjoyed it. This will definitely be a regular dish in our household.

Not worth the trouble and a waste of sweetener.

I followed the instructions precisely, but it took over an hour for the liquid to evaporate. The end product was simply an overly sweet-tasting corn.
