Tips to saving grocery money: Uses for Pop Corn - Part 3

The Newsletter has NOT gone out until OCTOBER!
http://www.eatgrains.com

Okay so this is the 3rd video using popping corn. We've milled it and made corn bread, given multiple ideas for flavor variations of popped corn and now the sweet treat of caramel pop corn - but there are more variations and one more 'secret' use of this grain that I am sharing in the Oct. Newsletter.

The written recipe will be in that newsletter as well....go sign up....

Donna,

I don't care for carmel korn but ,

I'm addicted to Kettle corn! Do you know how to make that? ?

Cheers,

Ursula

Try this:

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup oil

1/4 cup white sugar

1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, stir in the sugar and popcorn. Cover, and shake the pot constantly to keep the sugar from burning. Once the popping has slowed to once every 2 - 3 seconds, remove from the heat and continue to shake for a few minutes until the popping has stopped. Pour into a large bowl, and allow to cool, stirring occasionally to break up large clumps.

Thanks for the reply Donna!

Won't this make a brown coating on the popcorn like Carmel corn? I was thinking that the sugar somehow has to be added after the corn has popped

[thewheatguy]

Well it could make it browner - but caramel corn usually uses brown sugar so it is much darker. If the sugar doesn't burn it should stay pretty clear, but you know sugar is touchy.... One thing to try would be to dust w/ powdered sugar just after oil popping....that might do it...and toss around a bit....OR use powdered sugar in place of white in the recipe above. That way it desolves faster add JUST as the oil gets heated.

Give those a try and see how you like it! I'd love to hear!

I got the other message through email. Weird! Yea, corn is in everything. Thankfully we found out when he was an infant, so no popcorn habit to break. :P And yes, the audio is tons better these last few videos. Nice & clear!

[thewheatguy]

Oh good!

Thanks for letting me know!

Ok...I really HAVE responded to you...but for some reason it never took it!! ARG!

I clean my oven before each video...(o: ...it's a motivator....

Best Blessings!

Looks delish! I miss corn--my little one is allergic to it, so no one gets it. ;) O/T but you have the cleanest stove top & oven ever! Mine seems to get dirty 2 seconds after I've scrubbed it. lol
