It is our Whirely-Pop Popcorn Popper. We have some friends that are popcorn lovers and swear by it. They couldn't believe that with how much we like popcorn we didn't have a Whirely-Pop too. So, Christmas morning we unwrapped our very own. It was terrific. Well, at first but now we are obsessed. We make it all the time. The more we make, the worse (health wise) the things we top it with. I reached a new low yesterday when I made caramel popcorn. I LOVE IT!!!
So, I thought I would share the recipe with you. My mom made this recipe while I was grewing up. This recipe is from a church cook book, that might be older then me.
CARAMEL POPCORN
6 qts popped corn
2 sticks butter
2 C brown sugar
1/2 C white syrup
1 t baking soda
1/4 t cream of tartar
1 t salt (I only use a dash)
1 t vanilla
Mix butter,syrup, and brown sugar, and bring to the boiling point, let boil for 6 minutes, keep stirring while boiling. Take off heat and add cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and vanilla. Stir until foamy, pour over popped corn and mix well. (I don't do this next step because I love sticky, gooey popcorn but you might want to) Spread on cookie sheets. Bake in a 200 degree oven for 1 hour. Mixture may be pressed into popcorn balls if desired.
