~~AMISH CARAMEL CORN~~




This is a very simple and delicious Homemade Caramel Corn Recipe.
My mom has made Caramel Corn for as long
as I can remember. She always gives Wes a big bag full
for his birthday each year.










It is best to use an Air Popper. They sell
at Walmart for less than $20.00.









Amish Caramel Popcorn


1 cup margarine/butter
2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup light corn syrup

1 tsp vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda


Over medium heat, combine first four ingredients and boil for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in vanilla & baking soda. Stir well.
Pour over 7 quarts popped corn. Stir to coat well.



Bake in large roaster or pan at 250 degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Spread on waxed paper to dry.




* I usually put the popcorn on mulitple baking sheets sprayed with Pam.
This can get kind of messy and spreading it thinner is easier to stir while in the oven.




*Don't worry that each kernel of corn is covered when you
initially pour the hot sauce over the popcorn.
Baking and stirring it in the oven coats most
pieces evenly.
