time to make the popcorn!

The holidays are always a time to try out old family recipes.  I decided to tackle my grandma’s caramel popcorn over a decade ago.  It is funny that I don’t remember her making it, but my dad talked about it with great fondness. 

As the years went by, I tinkered with the recipe. I used real popped corn in a real kettle…not that microwave stuff.  I used butter and not shortening or margarine.  I even started to use my homemade vanilla.  So, as my kids say, I have created the only popcorn that requires an antidote. 
I have written up the recipe so you can give it a try.  It does have many steps and takes time but is so worth it.  Enjoy!
