Welcome back to homesteading with the Zimmerman where we work hard and play hard on our little corner of land in Iowa my husband and I were born and raised old order men andite or horse and begging menite as some refer to them as and although we are no longer part of

That culture or Community we are intentional about passing on the old-fashioned skills of our childhood to the Next Generation good morning I am coming to you with a bonus midweek video and we are going to be making caramel popcorn today um we are going to a family

Reunion for Christmas all eight of my siblings and I are getting together for the first time in 10 years um part of my responsibility foodwise for the weekend is to bring caramel popcorn so caramel popcorn takes a lot of butter especially if you’re making a big batch like I will

Be and the first thing we have to do is make butter because with all our Christmas baking we have worked through all the butter that we had stored in the freezer so we are going to start with making butter and I’ve got these jar of

Milk here and I’m just going to skim the cream from all of these and get that started and it is the first day of their Christmas break so they are excited to play with some of the toys that they have received and to help make caramel popcorn right yeah

All right Kendrick we’re ready to start popping corn we’re using Tallow as our oil you could use any kind of fat in here probably not butter we’re going to use Tallow we’ll put about a tablespoon maybe a little more going to turn our bur burner to medium and then when that’s all melted

We’re going to put the popcorn in you can stir that to make it melt if you want oh one side melted actually no it’s Whoa cutting my cheese Cur cuz this is this morning no oh I heard one popping you better start turning that is so cool how you can just cut in it and it looks like milk a it is milk this was still in the cow this morning and you can cut it wo

So we’re going to Salt our popcorn while it’s still warm because we like our good job Kendrick we like our caramel popcorn have a little bit of Salt okay that’s enough salt so we’re going to use a little more Tallow this time cuz last time we scorched them a little bit we should use and then we’ll use a little less popcorn so it doesn’t get so full and you want to watch it or not no ouch ouch

Woo now you can salt Them Don’t crush them Please good job there you go now you’ve got it mom I 1 2 three 4 five six s eight 1 three Norma all right let’s see how much butter we made so I have 32 oz I have 34 oz of butter here and I actually need 32 oz so I have more than enough but to make a quadruple recipe because of course I’m feeding all the aunts and uncles and

Cousins and um so I need to have enough did you wash your hands okay your fingernails are just very dirty I need to have enough caramel popcorn for around 70 people for a bedtime snack so I’m going to make it times four but the recipe I link for you in the

Description will be a single recipe which will take one cup of butter how many butter cups is this that’s four so while we get our butter started melting we can add the rest of our ingredients and one recipe calls for 1/2 a cup of corn syrup but I have modified the recipe to

Use maple syrup so I need two whole cups of maple syrup so one recipe calls for two cups of packed brown sugar so I need eight cups of packed brown sugar so this is all melted and it’s just about to start boiling once it starts to simmer we’re going to set our timer

All right we are going to call that boiling and we’re going to set our timer for 5 minutes and then we’re going to turn our burner down just enough so it keeps simmering and we’re going to stay right here because this can boil over very quickly turn your burner down so low

That it just keeps simmering like this okay so now that the timer went I’m going to turn my burner off and this is probably going to continue to simmer because the bottom of this pot is real heavy so even when I remove it it’s going to continue to simmer for a little

Bit but now we’re going to add the rest of our ingredients which is the salt and the baking soda you can see the baking soda will make it foam oh no oh no oh no I don’t know what to do so that was a big mistake I should have

Waited till it was completely done simmering but I add my vanilla that usually helps bring it down a little but this Kettle this pot has such a thick thick bottom that the heat just stayed there so now we’re just going to divide up this divide this over every

Container and you’re just going to toss it trying to be gentle not to break it more kernels than you have to like get underneath now we are going to bake our caramel popcorn in a 250° oven and we’re going to stir our caramel popcorn every 15 minutes we’re going to bake it for

45 I finished my last C I really like them I like that they’re matching going This I think it’s a I don’t know and this one is match that b waist so then as soon as you’re caramel popcorn is room temperature you can put it in your storage containers or put it in containers for giving as gifts and don’t forget that your free
