JAMIE'S SPICED SUGAR AND CHRISTMAS POPCORN RECIPE

Jamie's Spiced Sugar and Christmas Popcorn Recipe image

This Jamie Oliver sugar mix really does smell like Christmas (although you are not limited to eating it only at Christmas!). The sugar recipe makes loads, (but is easily halved) and it keeps in an airtight container for absolutely ages and can be used on a variety of things (to sweeten whipped cream, on porridge, on fruit--you name it...), so it's well worth doing a full batch. I don't usually do sweet popcorn, but I like this one!

Time 20m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 fresh bay leaves
2 oranges, zest of, finely grated
2 lemons, zest of, finely grated
6 whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
whole nutmeg (10 gratings)
1 vanilla pod, halved lengthways
1 kg caster sugar, unrefined if possible
olive oil
1 slice butter
250 g popcorn
6 tablespoons spiced sugar

Steps:

SPICED SUGAR:.
Put all of the sugar ingredients, except the sugar into a food processor and whiz until well blended and fine. Add the sugar and whiz again to combine everything together.
Spread the sugar out on a tray to dry out for a couple of hours before using, as it will be slightly moist at this stage.
Once dry, sieve the sugar to catch any large pieces and discard them. Keep the sugar in an airtight container. It will keep for ages!
POPCORN:.
Put the oil and butter into a pan on high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the popcorn and stir well to coat. Cover and leave to pop, shaking occasionally.
Put the sugar into a large bowl and when the popcorn is ready, add it to the bowl, tossing quickly to coat it with the sugar.

Tips:

Use fresh popcorn kernels. Older kernels are more likely to be stale and less flavorful.
Pop the popcorn in a large pot or Dutch oven. This will give the popcorn plenty of room to expand.
Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many kernels, the popcorn will not pop properly.
Use a high heat setting. This will help the popcorn pop quickly and evenly.
Shake the pot or Dutch oven frequently. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
Remove the popcorn from the heat as soon as it is finished popping. If you leave it in the pot, it will continue to cook and become overcooked.
Season the popcorn to taste. You can use salt, pepper, butter, or any other seasonings that you like.
Enjoy the popcorn! Popcorn is a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for any occasion.
