MOM'S CARAMEL CORN & LET'S TALK

Whoop Whoop, ready for inspiration inside the kitchen galore with this month's recipe sharing theme for Let's Talk with Momfessionals Andrea and Erika! Not only do I have "The" recipe for the delicious caramel corn that my sweet mama so graciously decided to share with you little pretties but also a couple requested memorable recipes on 
this all fine Fall Day!!!! 
Yum  


A week ago Friday, in my Friday Favorites, I told you how it is tradition that every year my mom makes her fantabulous caramel corn and I hoard and hide it as to indulge in it all my myself. She makes it in fairly small batches and that is what makes it so fresh, crisp and never sticky. Kids, I have been known to eat the whole container full in one setting. Husband caught onto me this year...sorry babe.


 When I see this container in the Fall, I know what is inside!!!!!

Ya know, that is what I love about recipes, especially in the Fall and Cold months, there is just so much darn love that goes into them and I feel it makes them extra good.
Our matching Aprons

So besides having the honor of sharing Mom's Caramel Corn Recipe with you today, I'll share a couple more from posts past that have sweet sentimental meaning behind them. They are also two that would work stupendously for your Thanksgiving get togethers coming up in gasp...3 1/2 weeks!! 


What you'll need for the Caramel Corn

MOM'S CARAMEL CORN
INGREDIENTS
3 1/2 quart (14 cups) unsalted popped corn
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white corn syrup
1 stick butter
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup and butter in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the baking soda and the vanilla. Stir until very foamy. Put the popcorn that has been popped in a roaster or very large pan. Pour the syrup mixture over the popcorn and stir until coated. Bake for 45 minutes total, stirring well after every 15 minutes. Dump onto waxed or parchment paper to cool. Store in an airtight container.

CHERRY DELIGHT



"Gotta make the Cherry Delight for Jimmy Scott." My parents are from the southern part of the state and most southern Indiana folks call family members by their first and middle names. Whenever my cousin, Jimmy Scott, who is 6 yrs older than me was coming over, my mom would make him his favorite: Cherry Delight!! Everyone in our family loved it and I occasionally will get hungry for it and make a small pan. You really could use other fruit toppings and call it Pineapple Delight, Blueberry Delight, etc. However, the Cherry is so yummy and super festive at Christmastime and well, it is the one that just brings back memories of childhood when we still got together at the holidays with our extended family and cousins. Yum  
Look at my mom's beautiful, long blonde hair.

                                             Sorry about the grainy 1970's photos, lol!



I think you'll love how tasty and refreshing this is. I like to serve it for dessert after a yummy soup or chili meal. This recipe is for 9x13 pan but I often reduce and just make a square 8x8.

 What you'll need

CHERRY DELIGHT

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 Tbsp. sugar
2/3 cup butter, melted

1 16oz tub cool whip

1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
2 cans cherry pie filling


Directions:

Slowly mix in the powdered sugar. Fold in cool whip and spread evenly over cooled crust. Top with the pie filling and chill covered until ready to serve.
