ALMOST-FAMOUS CARAMEL CORN



Almost-Famous Caramel Corn image

Baseball and Cracker Jack (yes, it's Jack, not Jacks!) go way back: The caramel popcorn and peanut mix, introduced in 1893, hit the big time in the early 1900s when "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" became baseball's unofficial anthem. Today, baseball fans still sing the song (chanting "buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack") during the seventh inning stretch, and the snack is still sold at stadiums around the country. Frito-Lay keeps the original recipe a secret, but Food Network Kitchens created this great copy.

Time 35m

Yield About 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for the baking sheet
1/3 cup popcorn kernels (preferably mushroom kernels)
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons molasses
2 teaspoons roasted peanut oil
Kosher salt
1/2 cup raw peanuts

Steps:

  • Put the vegetable oil and a few test popcorn kernels in a large pot. Heat over medium-high heat until the kernels pop, then carefully add the remaining kernels in a single layer. Cover and cook, shaking the pot, until there are several seconds between pops. Transfer the popcorn to a bowl. Lightly oil a baking sheet.
  • Wipe out the pot, then add the sugar, corn syrup, molasses, peanut oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the peanuts. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until a candy thermometer registers 290 degrees F, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the popcorn until coated. Transfer the caramel corn to the prepared baking sheet and let cool, then break into small pieces.

A SUPER SNACK BOWL - CAJUN CARAMEL CORN (FOR ZWT-9)



A Super Snack Bowl - Cajun Caramel Corn (For ZWT-9) image

Found in the recipes section at the Serious Eats website, this recipe was contributed by Jenny McCoy (a pastry chef from New York City who left no doubt that she was also a serious New Orleans Saints fan). She sees this popcorn as the perfect snack for Super Bowl Sunday - Something salty, spicy, sweet, served in a bowl & must be eaten by the handful! I would not be able to eat it just once a yr, btw. Jenny further added that: "This is super easy to make (esp if you use microwave popcorn) & it's truly addicting. But don't be fooled - The caramel corn may not seem too spicy at first, but it will sneak up on you." Since this recipe is all about the "Cajun Caramel" flavor, you can opt to make "old school" popcorn using ½ cup popcorn kernels w/1 tbsp vegetable oil or go the microwave popcorn route you see below. Prep time was not given, so I allowed 5 min to ready the ingredients & cook the popcorn. Enjoy!

Categories     Corn

Time 20m

Yield 4 1 Cup Servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (8 ounce) bag microwave popcorn
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
4 teaspoons corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F & cook the microwave popcorn per pkg directions.
  • When cool enough to handle, empty popcorn into a bowl & toss a bit so any un-popped kernels will fall to the bottom of the bowl. Transfer the nicely popped corn into another bowl & discard the un-popped kernels.
  • In a sml pot over med-heat, cook the butter, brown sugar, cayenne, sea salt & corn syrup until it just begins to bubble on the sides. Remove the pot from the heat & whisk in the baking soda.
  • Slowly pour the warm caramel over the popcorn while stirring gently. Continue to stir the popcorn until well-coated.
  • Spread the caramel corn onto a lrg baking sheet. Bake for approx 8-12 min or until the caramel just begins to darken. Be sure to stir around the caramel corn once (after the 1st 6 min or so of baking).
  • Let cool to just about room temperature Break up any clusters & enjoy!
  • NOTE: On-line reviewers suggested they would increase the cayenne & I suspect the cayenne/sea salt combo could be replaced by a Cajun seasoning blend as another option, but those are decisions you will have to make.

SUPER EASY CARAMEL CORN



Super Easy Caramel Corn image

I think its the cinnamon that makes this one so good :)

Provided by Dawn Goldsworthy

Categories     Other Desserts

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c packed brown sugar
1/2 c butter
1/4 c light corn syrup
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
6-8 c freshly popped popcorn

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
  • 2. Put popped popcorn in very large bowl or deep kettle.
  • 3. In large saucepan over med high heat bring to boil: sugar, butter and corn syrup. Once boiling, boil for 2 minutes stirring continuously.
  • 4. Remove from heat. Add baking soda, cinnamon, vanilla and mix well.
  • 5. Pour mixture over popcorn, mix gently. Spread over 2 cookie sheets, bake for 30 minutes stirring 1/2 way through. Let cool and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right popcorn. Not all popcorn is created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to use a popcorn that is specifically designed for popping in oil. This will help to ensure that your popcorn is crispy and flavorful.
  • Use the right oil. The type of oil you use will also impact the flavor of your popcorn. For this recipe, you'll want to use an oil with a high smoke point, such as canola oil or grapeseed oil. This will help to prevent the oil from burning and smoking.
  • Season your popcorn. Once your popcorn is popped, you can season it with a variety of different spices and seasonings. For this recipe, we're using a Cajun seasoning mix. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
  • Make your caramel. The caramel sauce is what really makes this popcorn special. To make the caramel, you'll need to combine sugar, butter, and cream in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the caramel has thickened.
  • Pour the caramel over the popcorn. Once the caramel is done, pour it over the popcorn and stir to coat. You can then spread the popcorn out on a baking sheet to cool.

Conclusion:

Cajun Caramel Corn is a delicious and addictive snack that is perfect for parties or movie nights. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a sweet and savory snack, give Cajun Caramel Corn a try!
