Caramel Popcorn
Delicious caramel-coated popcorn anytime!
Makes about 10 to 12 cups
2
/
3
cup granulated sugar
water (enough to just cover the sugar)
2
teaspoons vegetable oil
1
/
3
cup popping kernels
2
tablespoons heavy cream
pinch sea salt
1. Put the sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and
even out so it is a level layer. Add enough water
just to cover the sugar. Place over medium heat.
Bring to a boil.
2. Once the caramel mixture starts to boil, pour
the vegetable oil onto the heating plate with the
measured popcorn kernels.
3. Place the bowl on the popping plate and switch
the slide selector to Pop.
4. Once the unit has been turned on, watch the
caramel mixture on the stove closely. Using a
candy thermometer, monitor the temperature of
the caramel. Once it starts to turn golden brown,
about 5 to 7 minutes after it has come to a slight
boil the temperature should be no more than
340°F. Very carefully whisk in the heavy cream
and leave over very low heat to keep warm until
popcorn is ready. The temperature at this point
should read about 240°F.
5. Once the last kernel has popped, move the slide
selector from Pop to Mix. Drizzle the caramel
sauce through the flavor dispenser. Allow to mix
for about 30 to 45 seconds so it completely coats
the popcorn.
6. Place lid on popper and invert. Serve immediately.
