From: atripp@sfu.ca (Allyson Tripp) Date: Tue, 7 Sep 1993 17:16:33 GMT One of my family's favorite recipes is an easy, and easily adaptable, recipe for carmel corn. Carmel Corn Put 3 1/2 L popped corn in a large paper bag (no unpopped kernels) Take 1/2 cup melted margarine 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 t salt 1/4 cup cornsyrup Microwave 2 min, stir and repeat. (If you put this recipe to music, that would be the chorus.) Add 1/2 t baking powder, stir it in the mixture, and pour over popcorn in the bag. Close and shake, Microwave 2 min, shake and repeat. _________________ In these days of plastic grocery bags, I have sometimes been reduced to making it in a very large microwavable bowl, which is much more difficult. One time, when out of brown sugar, and desperate for some kind of candied popcorn, I used white sugar, and added a couple teaspoons of cinnamon. It worked wonderfully, as the candy coating cooks to a crunchy shell in the microwave (that is, if you let it cool before eating it.) I expect you could add any flavoring or colors you wanted with good results. Allyson Tripp Rozell Come to think of it, this might be a good idea for Christmas presents......
