I haven't made caramel corn in years!

My Mom used to make Caramel Corn for us when we were kids...thanks for posting the recipe, it brought back some happy memories :)

You're welcome. Enjoy

This is the same recipe my husband and I use over the holidays. I believe the original came from Jolly Time popcorn, though we never add peanuts. I might give that a try next time.

[a_boleyn]

Adding the peanuts was my idea. Kind of like Cracker Jack. I wasn't sure how much to add so I went with that amount. :)

Ah, that's sourdough - I thought it was tripe at first! :)

[a_boleyn]

Tripe is a very interesting shape as well and once you wash and boil it several times, you CAN eat it. Though I don't know why you'd want to. :)

Those starter photos are wild!

Why did you scrap it?

[a_boleyn]

Tried a couple of recipes (weighed and everything) and got disappointing results. Decided not to waste any more time and flour. Maybe next summer. I prefer yeast baked goods in any case.

[edgeofthewoods]

There is always next summer! I've read that you can use the started for flavour and then use yeast to lift the dough - perhaps that could be an option? Your last loaf looked fantastic. :-)

I use a combination of sourdough starter and yeast in a lot of baking ... like that boule that you commented on. As well as the babkas. I call it a 'hybrid' bread and if you look back over previous posts, I've made pizza dough, rolls and buns, both sweet (cinnamon rolls) and regular.

Mmm ... caramel corn, something I like but almost never make! Bought Cracker Jack as a child and always gave away the peanuts.

Why did you scrap your sourdough starter?

I got tired of doing any more sourdough baking or maintaining the starter. And yes, I know I could have refrigerated it and just fed once every 2-4 weeks. :)
