CARAMELISED PINEAPPLE & CHILLI POPCORN
Steps:
- Method To make the pineapple syrup, pour the pineapple juice into a frying pan or wok (the wider the base, the better). Heat on a medium temperature, swirling the pan regularly to ensure that it doesn't burn at the bottom. Do this until most of the liquid has evaporated and you're left with a about a tablespoon of intense pineapple syrup that has the consistency of honey. This might take up to an hour, so it's worth starting early and perhaps pouring yourself a glass of wine. Pop the butter in a saucepan along with the sugar, salt and chilli. Heat on a low-medium temperature, stirring regularly to help the sugar to dissolve. Once the mixture has thickened to a consistency similar to lemon curd, reduce your stirring and bring it slowly to the boil until bubbles start to appear all over the surface. Once it starts bubbling, leave it to caramelise for 3 minutes without stirring. The colour will start to darken. While waiting for the caramel to cook, fill a tablespoon with the pineapple syrup, so that it is ready to add to the mixture. Make sure that your popcorn is also ready and waiting in a big bowl that has plenty of room for some vigorous stirring. After 3 minutes, take the caramel mixture off the heat and add the tablespoon of pineapple syrup to the frying pan or wok, stirring it in. Immediately pour the mixture over the popcorn, stirring quickly to ensure that the popcorn is evenly coated before the caramel cools and hardens. Put the popcorn on a baking tray and place it in the oven at 100°C for 30 minutes to evaporate off any remaining liquid and allow it to become deliciously crisp. Take the popcorn out of the oven and leave it to cool. Sit back and enjoy - perhaps paired with a cold Red Stripe or other pale lager while dreaming of azure seas, golden beaches and palm trees swaying gently in the breeze. Taken from thepopcornist.com
HOMEMADE CHILI SEASONING POPCORN
Popcorn as good as the theater's, with a kick! Salty, spicy and a little smoky. All you need is a large pot or metal bowl. I use a large 2 gallon metal bowl. Omit the chili powders if you don't like it spicy.

Tips:
- Choose the right popcorn kernels. Not all popcorn kernels are created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to use a variety that pops up light and fluffy, such as white or yellow popcorn kernels.
- Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has a much better flavor than canned or frozen pineapple. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well before using.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're popping the popcorn, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the popcorn from popping evenly.
- Use a high heat. When you're caramelizing the sugar, use a high heat. This will help the sugar to caramelize quickly and evenly.
- Be careful not to burn the sugar. When you're caramelizing the sugar, keep a close eye on it. It can burn quickly, so be sure to remove it from the heat as soon as it turns a light amber color.
- Add the popcorn and pineapple to the caramel as soon as it's ready. This will help the popcorn and pineapple to get coated in the caramel.
- Serve the popcorn immediately. Caramelized pineapple popcorn is best enjoyed fresh. So, serve it immediately after you've made it.
Conclusion:
Caramelized pineapple chili popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that's perfect for parties or movie nights. It's also a great way to use up leftover pineapple. So, next time you have a pineapple, be sure to try this recipe. You won't be disappointed!
