Glazed Popcorn (Brown sugar coated Popcorn)
I had some leftover glaze from last weekend's Glazed Apple Cake (previous post). I was thinking may be I would make another batch of the apple cake since everyone at home loved it. But then I had another idea. I wanted to try 'Glaze'd Popcorn. I put half a bag of popcorn into the glaze liquid and took it out once it is coated well with the glaze. Here is the result.
The look was perfect and the taste was perfect. But the popcorn took a day to dry up. So I think the consistency of the glaze was not correct. Anyway, half a bag of glazed pocorn got over pretty soon and there is always a next time. :)
Update: I hadn't referred net when I tried to make glazed popcorn and it was not perfect. Here is a recipe from cooks.com.
8 c. popped popcorn
1/4 c. butter
3 tbsp. light corn syrup
1/2 c. packed light brown sugar or white sugar
1 pkg. (sm.) Jello gelatin, any flavor
Place popcorn in large bowl. Heat butter and syrup in small saucepan over low heat. Stir in brown sugar and gelatin; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer for 5 minutes. Pour syrup immediately over popcorn, tossing to coat well.Spread popcorn on aluminum foil lined 15 x 10 x 1 inch pan, using 2 forks to spread evenly. Bake in preheated 300 degree oven for 10 minutes. Cool. Remove from pan and break into small pieces.
Rainbow Popcorn: Prepare Glazed Popcorn 3 times, using 3 different gelatin colors such as strawberry, lemon and lime. Bake as directed and break into pieces. Layer 3 cups of each variety in 3 quart bowl. Serve remaining popcorn at another time. Makes 6 quarts.
