CRACKER JACK - COPYCAT
This recipe has never failed me. The popcorn turns out sweet, buttery and very crispy. If you want caramel corn, just use light corn syrup instead of dark.

HOMEMADE CRACKER JACK
A salty-sweet, caramel-coated popcorn often eaten at baseball games, Cracker Jack is one of the many well-known confections from Chicago. While molasses-covered popcorn was already popular in the Northeast, the creation of Cracker Jack's special formula is credited to German brothers Frederick William and Louis Rueckheim. Besides coming up with the signature combination of popcorn, molasses and peanuts, they even devised a special package to keep it fresh and crisp. By the late 1800s, the snack was so loved that their company was producing four-and-a-half tons a day. This homemade version is best enjoyed the day it's made, though it will keep for up to three days in an airtight container. Use large, red-skinned peanuts in this recipe if you can find them, as the skins lend a pleasant bitterness that works well with the molasses-caramel coating.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 250 degrees and grease two large rimmed baking sheets with neutral oil.
- Add the remaining 3 tablespoons neutral oil and 2 kernels to a large pot. Cover and heat over medium. Once you hear those first two kernels pop, add the remaining kernels, cover and cook, shaking occasionally, until the popping slows down, about 4 to 6 minutes. You should hear a few seconds of silence between pops. Remove from the heat.
- Transfer the popcorn to a large, heatproof bowl and discard any unpopped kernels. Add the peanuts to the popcorn and toss to combine. Set the vanilla and baking soda near the stove for easy access.
- In a small saucepan, stir the butter, brown sugar, molasses and salt over medium until the butter melts. Once the butter has melted, attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and cook the mixture, undisturbed, until the temperature reaches 248 degrees.
- Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla and baking soda. The mixture will become foamy. Immediately pour it over the popcorn and use a wooden spoon to coat it evenly.
- Spread the popcorn out onto the two prepared baking sheets. Bake until the mixture is dry, about 20 to 25 minutes, tossing occasionally. The mixture will dry out as it cools but may still be slightly sticky. Sprinkle with a bit more salt, to taste.
- Let the popcorn cool completely. It's best enjoyed the day it's cooked, but you can also store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe fruit: The better the fruit, the better the jam will be. If you can, use fruit that is in season and at its peak of ripeness.
- Choose the right type of sugar: There are many different types of sugar that can be used to make jam, but not all of them are created equal. For a classic jam, use granulated sugar. If you want a jam with a lower sugar content, you can use pectin or a sugar substitute.
- Cook the jam to the right consistency: The key to making perfect jam is to cook it to the right consistency. The jam should be thick enough to spread, but not so thick that it is difficult to stir. To test the consistency of the jam, place a small spoonful on a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is ready.
- Store the jam properly: Once the jam is made, it is important to store it properly. Jam can be stored in airtight jars in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. It can also be stored in the freezer for up to 1 year.
Conclusion:
Making jam is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little practice, you can make delicious jam that your family and friends will love. So next time you have some fresh fruit on hand, give jam making a try!
