This is a recipe that came from my grandmother. I was going through some of her recipe cards today remembering all the good times we had cooking and baking up north and I wanted to put it on here...just in case I lost the original handwritten copy. Ingredients:
1 cup butter (no substitutions) |
2 cups brown sugar (firmly packed) |
1/2 cup light corn syrup |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
5 quarts popped corn (it is best if you do it the old-fashioned way with oil and popcorn in a pan on the stove...microwa) |
2 cups nuts (your choice) (optional) |
Directions:
1. melt butter.
2. stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. bring to a boil stirring constantly.
3. boil without stirring 5 minutes (this is crucial).
4. remove from heat, gradually stir in baking soda and vanilla.
5. place your popcorn and nuts in a large bowl. gradually pour the caramel mixture onto the popcorn mixing well.
6. place popcorn on baking sheets and bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes.
7. remove from oven and let cool completely. break apart and store in air tight container.
