| Gluten Free Caramel Corn – Yum! |
Last year, I needed a recipe for a gluten free snack to take to a party and found this recipe at About.com. I’ve made a ton of it since then…makes a great gift if you scoop it into a cellophane bag and tie it closed with a ribbon.
GLUTEN FREE CARAMEL CORN
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
5 quarts fresh popcorn
1/2 cup agave syrup OR light corn syrup
2 cups brown sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) butter
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
Preheat oven to 250°
- Pop 5 quarts of popcorn and place in a large roasting pan.
- Put butter, sugar, agave syrup OR corn syrup and cream of tartar in a large pan. Over medium heat, melt the mixture, stirring to prevent burning.
- Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
- Add vanilla and baking soda and stir to mix.
- Carefully pour this mixture over the popcorn. Gently stir to thoroughly coat the popcorn.
- Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
- Remove and pour on a large baking sheet to cool. Use a spatula to separate the warm clumps.
To freeze. Cool caramel corn completely. Seal tightly in freezer bags. Bring to room temperature to serve.
