Carmel Corn

[Marg Webb]

Anyone have a good carmel corn recipe? Thanks

[Brad Mercer]

It never occurred to me that there could be a recipe. I thought it just came that way. ;-)

Hang in there we will educate ya:):)

Here is the one I have used for years:

Pop enough popcorn to fill two baking pans (10 by 13?)
Remove all unpopped kernels

In a large sauce pan bring this to a boil(on med. high):
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup of butter(two sticks)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla

Stir and Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes
Remove from heat
Add 1 teaspoon baking soda
Pour over popcorn and stir

Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Sometimes I mix in a cup of pecans or peanuts to each pan before baking.

This always makes a hit and I start eating it about 5 minutes after it is out of the oven...very carefully.

I store it in large zip lock bags...once it cools.

The Iowa seed corn companies are working on that. We are working on carmel apple trees too

Thanks Barb. I gave away some of my cook books and should never have done that.
So off to the store for sugar and corn syrup.
You have always had an answer for us when it comes to cooking. Thanks.
Will your son be home for Christmas?

Stephen arrived home Monday and will be here two weeks. We will have to drive to St. Louis on Christmas Day and spend the night at a motel since his flight back to Fort Lee, Va leaves at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.

But it is so wonderful just to have him home. He turned 32 today and Mom got to fix him his favorite ham dinner.

Thanks for asking.
