Tracy's Kahlua
Johnny
My wife's Kahlua. Everyone says this is way better than the store bought stuff.
- 24 C of strong brewed coffee
- 4 lbs light brown sugar
- 1.75 L Everclear alcohol
- 3/4 C vanilla
Brew 24 cups of strong coffee.
Pour coffee into a large stock pot and bring to a boil.
Add brown sugar and stir constantly for 5 minutes.
Remove stock pot from heat and cool.
Once cool, stir in 1.75 L Everclear.
Use a funnel and pour into bottles
I will often soak a vanilla bean in 3/4 cup Everclear between batches then dump the vanilla bean and Everclear into the stock pot.

Caramel Corn
Johnny
Mmmmm, caramel corn.
Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Cook Time 1 hour hr
Total Time 1 hour hr 15 minutes mins
Course Dessert
Cuisine American
- 7 quarts plain popped popcorn
- 2 cups dry roasted peanuts optional
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup margarine
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Place the popped popcorn into two shallow greased baking pans.
Add the peanuts to the popped corn if using. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (120 degrees C).
Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, margarine and salt in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring enough to blend. Once the mixture begins to boil, boil for 5 minutes while stirring constantly.
Remove from the heat, and stir in the baking soda and vanilla. The mixture will be light and foamy.
Immediately pour over the popcorn in the pans, and stir to coat. Don't worry too much at this point about getting all of the corn coated.
Bake for 1 hour, removing the pans, and giving them each a good stir every 15 minutes.
Line the counter top with waxed paper. Dump the corn out onto the waxed paper and separate the pieces.
Allow to cool completely, then store in airtight containers or resealable bags.
