Ginger caramel popcorn

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup popcorn kernels

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces

  • 1/4 cup corn syrup

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 tbsp peeled, chopped ginger

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla

  • 1/4 tsp baking soda

  • 1 cup chopped candied ginger

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Use an air popper to pop corn kernels into a large bowl. Discard any unpopped kernels.

  • Combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt in a large saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 min or until it reaches 255F on a candy thermometer. Whisk in ginger, vanilla and baking soda; the mixture will foam and look creamy.

  • Working quickly and carefully (hot caramel can give you a nasty burn), pour caramel over popcorn. Add candied ginger and stir to coat popcorn.

  • Scrape onto prepared baking sheet. Bake caramel corn for 20 min, stirring after 10 min to redistribute caramel, or until caramel coats popcorn and is bubbling slightly.

  • Let cool on baking sheet and transfer to an airtight container.
