Ormsby Corn

Ormsby Corn Recipe

Ingredients:
¾-1 cup Unpopped white popcorn
1-2 Tbs Canola Oil

2 sticks of butter
2 cups brown sugar
½ cup corn syrup
1 tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda

Tools:
2 Medium cooking pots
Big stick spoon
Candy Thermometer
Big baking pan (disposable turkey roaster works great)
Foil or large baking sheets
Airtight storage containers

Pop corn on medium heat in medium pot covering kernels with oil (with a medium-sized pan - it takes two batches), pour into baking pan and remove uncooked kernels.
Place in oven at 250 degrees to keep warm.

At medium low heat, melt butter, sugar, corn syrup and salt in additional pot, stirring until melted. Once melted, cook additional five minutes until it turns a caramel color brown, or until it reaches 248 degrees on the candy thermometer, stirring occasionally.
When it has reached this point, turn off heat and stir in baking soda, until it foams, then pour over warmed popcorn, coating thoroughly.

Place pan in oven and stir every 15 minutes three times for a total of 45 minutes.
Pour completed popcorn onto baking sheets or foil and break apart immediately as it cools.
Store delicious corn in airtight container - if you have any left to store after sampling.

Yum!
