CARAMEL CORN

For years I've taken this snack to our church retreat in two containers-one for each night-so it doesn't all disappear the first night. Other church members tell us that if we can't attend, we should just send the caramel corn. -Nancy Breen, Canastota, New York

  • Butter the bottoms and sides (get into the corners, too!) of a 9X9-inch square baking pan. (Alternately, you can line with parchment and butter the parchment - this may make it easier to pull the slab of caramels out of the pan after they have cooled in order to cut and wrap them.) Set aside.
  • For the caramels, in a large, heavy-bottomed pot (at least 5- or 6-quarts), stir together the sugar, corn syrup, and water, taking care to not splash the mixture up the sides of the pot.Clip a candy thermometer onto the side of the pan.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat WITHOUT STIRRING or moving the pan. As it begins to boil, fill a cup with water and use a pastry brush to wash down the sides of the pan so there are no granules of sugar sticking to the sides of the pan (you probably won't need to repeat this after the sides have been well-cleaned). This prevents the caramel mixture from crystallizing in later steps.
