Ingredients
| Amount | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 8 cups | JOLLY TIME popped popcorn (make sure to remove all unpopped kernels) |
| 1/4 cup | chopped dried apricots |
| 1/4 cup | raisins |
| 1/2 cup | unsalted butter |
| 1/2 cup | dry white wine |
| 1/3 cup | granulated sugar |
| 1/4 cup | corn syrup |
| 1/4 tsp | salt |
| 1 tbsp | lemon zest |
| 1 cup | chopped freeze-dried strawberries |
Directions
Directions
- Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray large bowl with nonstick cooking spray.
- Transfer popcorn to prepared bowl (make sure to remove all unpopped kernels). Toss in dried peaches, dried apricots, cranberries, and raisins.
- In medium heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium heat, melt butter. Add wine, jam, sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until sugar mixture is golden brown and has reached the hard-ball stage. (To test, add a few drops of sugar syrup to a glass of ice-cold water; if the sugar syrup solidifies, the mixture is ready.)
- Stir in lemon zest. Working quickly and carefully, pour caramel over popcorn, stirring to evenly coat.
- Arrange popcorn mixture on prepared baking sheet, spreading into an even layer. Sprinkle with freeze-dried strawberries. Let set until firm and cooled completely.
Tip: Substitute white wine with red wine if preferred. Try JOLLY TIME Simply Popped Butter as your base to cut down on prep time!
