Awful Blogger

I've been an awful blogger.  I just haven't been able to justify taking the time to blog when I could be "working".  So, for the most up to date stuff on us, subscribe to Blake's and my monthly email:  http://blakebolerjack.com/elist.php

I'll still keep blogging on here but I'm having to give it a rest for a bit to get other stuff done!!

Gooey Popcorn

To my knowledge, this is not a protected Bolerjack family secret recipe.  But it might be.  If so, don't tell anyone! ;)


Bolerjack Gooey Popcorn
-Raw, plain popcorn kernels (cook using instructions on bag)
-vegetable oil, enough to thinly cover bottom of big pot
Sauce:
-1 cup sugar
-1/3 cup corn syrup (like Karo)
-1/3 cup water
-1/4 cup butter
-3/4 tsp salt
-3/4 tsp vanilla, to add at end

1. cook popcorn kernels according to instructions on bag, enough to make big, big bowl-full
2. in small saucepan over medium high heat, dissolve other sauce ingredients except vanilla
3. bring sauce to a low boil
4. boil sauce until when you stir it, the syrup looks thicker, dripping off your spoon in strings. maybe about 15 min?
5. Add vanilla to sauce at this point, stir
6. Drizzle sauce over cooked, plain, popcorn
