an old wooden recipe box I found at a yard sale this summer) finishes up
with this dandy, that would be wonderful to have as you ring in the new
year!
2 c. brown sugar
1 c. butter
1/2 c. light corn syrup
pinch salt
Boil all ingredients for 5 minutes, add 1 tsp. baking soda (mixture will foam
a bit, so make sure you use a big enough saucepan). Pour over 5 quarts of
popped corn, add 1 cup of peanuts (optional).
Butter a cookie sheet, pour corn onto it. Bake one hour at 250, stirring
twice.
I have used a similar recipe, and instead of popcorn have used Old Dutch
Puffcorn. The recipe is right on the back of the bag, and if you have never
made it you MUST. It is completely addictive, and the whole batch will be
gone before you know it.
Happy sweet crunching!
I love making and eating this - but don't make it anymore cuz I will eat the whole batch myself...it is that good.
