Oh YUM! As you may know, my family now snacks on freeze dried produce. It's DELICIOUS and NUTRITIOUS, but sometimes, this mama wants JUNK! Fortunately, I recently purchased this Kindle book: 30 Perfect Popcorn Recipes : How to Make Sweet & Savory Gourmet Popcorn at Home by Lori Jane Stewart. Popcorn is healthy (until you add the good stuff!) and so inexpensive! With just 1/4 cup of kernels, you will pop 16 cups of popcorn! AMAZING! Most of the recipes in the book use about 8 or 9 cups of popcorn, so I eat the GOOD stuff and my kids happily (unknowingly) snack on the plain stuff. It's a double whammy win! For today's recipe, I just happened to have had a bag of pre-shelled pistachios. Typically I wouldn't splurge on such a treat, but since I had the pistachios, I tried this recipe and fell in LOVE! Notes: My husband prefers the classic electric poppers, but a few years ago we picked up a stovetop popcorn popper and I LOVE it. I feel all old-fashioned and homestead-y :) Pistachio Praline Popcorn from Lori Jane Stewart's, 30 Perfect Popcorn Recipes Ingredients: 1/4 cup butter, unsalted 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed * 1 tsp cinnamon, ground 9 cups popcorn, air-popped 2/3 cup shelled pistachio nuts, roasted without salt Directions:
*I prefer to make my own brown sugar! It's SO easy and delicious. Combine 1 cup of sugar to 1 Tbsp of molasses. Stir with a fork until uniformly brown and fluffy. Add more molasses for darker brown sugar. Store in airtight container. Bon Appetit, | please purchase via the above affiliate links. |
