Cane Syrup Popcorn Balls Recipes

CANE SYRUP POPCORN BALLS

Cane Syrup Popcorn Balls image

Cane syrup, a caramelized, concentrated version of pure cane juice, is one of the basic flavors of southern Louisiana, where about half the sugar cane in the United States is grown. Here, use it to give popcorn balls a deep, buttery caramel taste, perfect for a Halloween treat. Make sure to butter your hands well before shaping the mixture into balls. And if you live outside a region where you can get cane syrup, try Lyle's Golden Syrup, a British sweetener often found in supermarket baking aisles.

Time 30m

Yield About 3 dozen balls.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1 1/3 cups cane syrup, preferably Steen's (see note)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
3 to 4 quarts popped corn, preferably not microwave popcorn, lightly salted (see note)
3/4 cup roasted salted peanuts (optional)
2 tablespoons butter, more for hands
1/4 teaspoon baking soda.

Steps:

In a saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, melt sugar, syrup, 2/3 cup water, vinegar and salt over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches 260 degrees, 5 to 10 minutes. Watch carefully so mixture does not boil over.
In a very large bowl, combine popcorn and peanuts, if using. Cover a work surface with waxed or parchment paper. When syrup mixture is ready, turn off heat and stir in butter and baking soda; it will foam up.
Pour about 2/3 of syrup over popcorn and set remainder over very low heat. Mix popcorn well with wooden spoon. Working quickly, butter hands and form mixture into balls, setting them on prepared surface to cool; this is best done by more than one person, so syrup does not have time to harden. If mixture seems dry or isn't holding together, stir in remaining syrup.
Cool and serve, or wrap individually in waxed paper and store in an airtight container.
