Am in the middle of my two-week mandatory leave, and as so far, all I have to show for it are additional inches and pounds. Being at home enables me to be online or watch movies, and snack all throughout the day (Bad!).
One day, we decided to have some popcorn. Although we don't use oil to pop the corn (thanks to the air popper MacGyver got from a garage sale a couple of years ago), if we don't drench it in melted butter, we coat it with caramel. (Good and bad!)
What can I say? It's just so easy to make the caramel that it practically begs to be added to the popcorn.
Ours would be a simple combination of 1/2 c sugar + 1/4 c butter + 2 T honey.
Many of the recipes call for the brew to be boiled without stirring for 7-8 minutes after the sugar has melted. I just let the caramel boil for a while. I still have to figure out what that extra cooking time is all about.
Does that mean I need to make another batch? (Really BAD!)
