Provided by Kimberly Snook

Categories     Popcorn

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 c unpopped popcorn
1/2 c butter
1/2 c light corn syrup
1/4 c water
2 c granulated sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
3 tsp huckleberry flavoring
3-4 drops purple food coloring

Steps:

  • 1. Pop the popcorn and set aside in two large bowls.
  • 2. Over medium heat melt the butter in a medium saucepan.
  • 3. Add the corn syrup and water stir to combine.
  • 4. Add the sugar. Make sure not to let any sugar stick to the edges of the pan. If one grain of sugar is left undissolved, it can cause the whole batch to crystallize.
  • 5. Bring to a boil and continue to cook until the mixture reaches 235-245 degrees. (Please use a candy thermometer). It is important for the mixture to reach this temperature, if it doesn't the candy will not harden properly.
  • 6. Add the baking soda and stir quickly as the mixture begins to bubble. Once bubbly and frothy, remove the pan from heat.
  • 7. Add the flavor and food coloring until mixed in. Pour over the popped popcorn in both bowls. Fold into the popcorn until evenly coated
  • 8. Cool and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right popcorn kernels. Many different types of popcorn kernels are available, each with its own unique flavor and texture. For light and fluffy popcorn, choose butterfly or mushroom kernels. For a heartier popcorn, choose hulless or Amish popcorn.
  • Use the right amount of oil. Too much oil will make your popcorn greasy, while too little oil will make it dry. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 tablespoon of oil for every 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels.
  • Heat the oil until it is shimmering. Do not let the oil smoke, as this will burn the popcorn.
  • Add the popcorn kernels and cover the pot. Shake the pot back and forth so that the kernels are evenly coated with oil. Cover the pot and wait for the popping to begin.
  • Remove the pot from the heat when the popping slows down. Do not wait until all of the kernels have popped, as this will burn the popcorn.
  • Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl and add your desired toppings. Common toppings include butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Popcorn is a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of fiber and antioxidants, and it can be made at home in minutes. With so many different recipes to choose from, there is sure to be a popcorn recipe that everyone will enjoy.
