ZZ Yellowstone Huckleberry Delight Popcorn image

"Huckleberries grow wild in our area of Idaho and Montana. Families wander into the woods in their search. On the way to Yellowstone Park, not too far from here, is a little country gas station with a hand painted sign in the window, "Huckleberry's for Sale." You have to delight in huckleberries to pay what they cost. But even if you are not from the area, you'll find this huckleberry popcorn delightful."

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/4 cup white corn syrup (Karo)
1/8 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons Huckleberry flavor
3 drops of Americolor Electric Purple
food coloring gel or equal

Steps:

  • 1. Pop the popcorn kernels. Set aside in 2
  • large bowls.
  • 2. Over medium heat, melt the butter in a
  • medium sauce pan.
  • 3. Add the corn syrup and water. Stir.
  • 4. Add the sugar. Make sure not to let any
  • sugar stick to the edges of the pan. If one
  • grain of sugar is left undissolved, it can
  • cause the whole batch to crystallize.
  • 5. Bring to a boil and continue to cook until
  • the mixture reaches 235-245 degrees.
  • (Please use a candy thermometer). It is
  • important for the mixture to reach this
  • temperature, if it doesn't the candy will
  • not harden properly.
  • 6. Add the baking soda and stir quickly
  • as the mixture begins to bubble. Once
  • bubbly and frothy, remove the pan from
  • heat.
  • 7. Add the flavor and food coloring until
  • mixed in.
  • 8. Pour over the popped popcorn in both
  • bowls. Fold into the popcorn until evenly
  • coated.
