Salted caramel popcorn

Place the sugar and water in a non-stick saucepan, stir to dissolve. Place over a medium-high heat and swirl occasionally, to ensure even distribution of heat. Allow to bubble – this could take 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your pot – swirling every minute.

As soon as a glimmer of caramel appears, swirl to spread – so the entire pan turns caramel – and remove from the heat. Add the butter, and again, swirl until it is melted and combined- off the heat. Add the cream and salt – you can stir this in. You may need to put it back on the heat for a minute if the cream causes the caramel to solidify.

Place the popcorn on a baking tray – in a single layer if possible – and drizzle over the caramel. Toss and stir until all the popcorn is covered. Allow to ‘set’ for an hour or so, until the caramel is no longer wet.
