It was an interesting holiday. I am always a bit frantic getting ready for it. I do say I have to enjoy it but this year being anemic really did not help! I did finally get to my Beloved's request for caramel corn. It sounded yummy to me as well. I use Molly's recipe for Orangette:

We do not have a microwave so I pop my popcorn on top of the stove. I add a pinch of salt to this large bowl of popcorn.
The one tool that makes all the difference for this is a good candy thermometer. They are not very expensive but priceless.
I leave out the peanuts. I do not particularly care for them in any caramel corn I ever tried so I just ditched them.
This is so yummy that it gets eaten much too fast! I have not made it more recently for my Beloved because it does get into our tummies much too quickly.
Enjoy!
