Total Time 10minutes
Servings 10cups popcorn
Ingredients
10cups(120g) sweet or plain popcorn
1/3cup(66g) light brown sugar
2tbsp(30g) unsalted butter
3/4tspground cinnamon
1tspground ginger,see note
1/4tspground cloves
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of salt
1/2tspvanilla extract
1/3cup(80g) maple syrup
Instructions
Place popcorn into a large, heat proof bowl, with plenty of room to toss the popcorn in the maple/ginger syrup.
Place sugar, butter, spices, salt, vanilla extract and maple syrup into a medium sized saucepan over a low-medium heat.
Stir frequently and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir continuously and cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture has got a little darker and ever so slightly thicker (you won't feel it getting much thicker, but the colour will change).
Pour the maple/ginger syrup all over the popcorn and then use two spoons to toss the popcorn in the syrup. Keep stirring/tossing until all the popcorn is covered in the syrup. It will be sticky, but as it cools it becomes less sticky.
Leave to cool completely, before transferring to an airtight container and storing at room temperature. Popcorn will keep for 4 days.
Notes
Note 1: If you don't adore ginger, reduce to 3/4 tsp.
