While away a rainy afternoon whipping up this caramel corn at home.
Caramel Corn
4 to 6 quarts popped popcorn (a standard bag of popcorn usually yields 12-14 cups; use more or less depending on how sweet you like your corn)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, peanuts, pecans, etc.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Over medium heat, melt the butter in a saucepan, then stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Stir the mixture constantly until it comes to a boil, then stop stirring for 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat, and stir in the baking soda and vanilla (the mixture will foam).
Pour the caramel over the popped corn (and mix-ins) and stir to coat. Bake on a large, rimmed baking sheet for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Spread the finished product on waxed paper to cool completely and enjoy!

Can someone please tell me how I can subscribe to this "Tip of the Day" web site?
Also, I like making up Christmas baskets for my family and friends and am looking for cute sayings, or something of interest to add to my baskets. (Scripture or food ideas). By scripture, I mean anything written of interest...can be religious in nature, humourous or simply thought provoking). I do bake a lot at Christmas. Any ideas?
Thanks everyone and wishing all a Happy and Blessed Holiday Season.
