Both of my parents are gone now but as a child of the 60s we only had this option for popcorn-I still love it even today. My momma raised me strong as well- we need this generation to jump on the same bandwagon. Momma made us popcorn balls each fall-so yummy! God, Family and Friends-the best way to live💞
72 yr old Grandma of 2 here❣️⚘️ This is my first time watching your show... I loved it , this is my life's Era ! I do shop for containers ,plates and pretty bowls etc for the same purpose. VINTAGE key word , love it ! You can make beautiful gifts🤗 I too have always done most of my own home improvements. I really enjoyed , related too your podcast. Thankyou for sharing your talents it warms my ❤️ Sending blessings I've subscribed ❣️⚘️
Thank you so much. Ali really has a talent. Gets it from her Mom and others in her family. I like to reciprocate with the talents I got from my parents. She has the “eye” for such things.
My Dad died when I was 7. There were nine of us from 17 years old to 10 weeks. My mom taught us all to pitch in to help each other. She was awesome!! We always blput it in the oven!
I raised my kids to be the same we all work together as a team...My kids are wonderful grown adults and are good parents and they all just love to cook and keep a clean house ...Merry Christmas all
I messed up my money this month and I only have $20 left for the month. I have 2 granddaughters and my daughter and daughter-in-law to get gifts for. You have given me a gift for my daughters. I wont be seeing the grands until after the new year, so you took much pressure from my shoulders. Thank you!
The three of us were raised by our mother as well. She was very independent until the day she passed. She taught me so much! I am eternally grateful for her. She taught me how to make do with nothing, and I am forever grateful for her teaching me independence as a young girl. As an adult my husband and I became quite financially secure. We were able to provide for her. She became my best friend. I miss her so much!
I was a single Mom too. I raised 3 kids ( 2 boys and a girl) by myself with no child support either! I know exactly what it was like for your Mom, for You and Your Siblings! Like your Mom, I knew what my purpose was in life, which was raising my kids to be great people. I too, like your Mom, ended up with adult children who are awesome just like you! Your Mom did a phenomenal job raising you! Love this recipe and love your youtubes.
My mom taught me NOTHING……she was jealous of me….I was the cute little blonde haired girl…..I can honestly say she never even taught me to boil water. Sad but true. I LOVE your channel! I just found you this past week….early September 2024…..rant away darlin! I’m now 75, into herbs….have a garden on my deck…..lovin’ it all! I had no idea how to plant anything….or grow it….or cook it…..or preserve it…but now I’m into herbs, growing them and veggies and having a ball! Doing my thang! I adore your sense of humor…..SO like mine…..and all the things you do! You probably won’t see this since it came out 8 months ago, but I truly love you and watch every video I find of yours! Never give up…..never surrender!!! ❤❤❤
My mom never taught me how to cook either. In fact, she actually sort of brags about it. The thing is, however, i learned on my own and it sounds as though you did the same. I love to cook, as a result. Just chalk up to one of those things. 😊
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa Darlin’, I’m a mess! Nutty as a fruitcake but find as much fun in everything as I can! Been married 53 (LONG) years but I guess I wouldn’t even trade him in for Mel Gibson! He’s learned to cope well and I’m still training him! Never stop training them….they NEED it! Love you and Shawn!! ❤️❤️❤️
I and my siblings had the same type of upbringing. It makes you strong, and teaches you to be a DIYer. I’ve only recently discovered your videos but I have a great respect and admiration for the type of person you are. God Bless you. We were very poor but my mom would always give us dessert after dinner. If she could not afford to buy the 3 row pack of Oreo cookies, which back then were 15 cents a pack, she would make each of us including one for herself, these incredibly crazy shaped raisin cookies using flour, butter, an egg, sugar salt, baking powder and raisins. I learned to create cookies of my own as I grew. I even created my family favorite rice a roni, spam and cheese casserole. I read something once that I hold close to my heart. Don’t despise the small beginnings A lot of people don’t turn out so great being raised in poverty or a what may be difficult circumstances and some of turn out better than ok. I am not rich by any means but I have learned to make things work, use what I have and share what I can. You seem to be that type of person.
My elderly cousin, the age that my grandma would have been, used to make popcorn balls every Christmas. She used leftover popcorn from the business she had during the summer. They were great.
One thing I learned from good Eats and Alton Brown for popping corn. You can use a large metal mixing bowl and cover with foil. Stab the foil about 8-10 times to let the steam escape, then keep turning the bowl so the heat is even. The bowl shape is optimal for the popcorn to cook since as they pop the unpopped kernels slide back down to the heat at the bottom and the popped kernels rise up and away from the heat.
What or how would you use pecans in there? I love pecans in Carmel corn for myself. I’d even wrap it up for myself! Why not?? It’s something I love.. lol..
Mixed comments: That looks great! I haven’t made it since my kids were little. (popcorn balls). Fun video. I LOVE your stove. And…Your mom, did a good job!
I think your stories are great. I love how much your mom taught you. She sounds like a very smart woman. You are very lucky. My mom taught us how to do a lot of things as well. I have a lot of wonderful memories of her. I am very grateful for her. I look forward to more recipes. Thanks
I too was raised by a single mom. She was an amazing baker. Worked in a hospital kitchen cooking meals and amazing baked goods. I learned so much from her.
Stop, stop, STOP!! Do I dare to watch this video?? That display at the very beginning is downright DANGEROUS for me to watch since I feel I'm going to have a new addiction! Popcorn is my fav and this popcorn looks mmmmmmmmmmm....Okay, I'll watch.
I need to say this but I have watched this four times this year and really love to hear about your mom and growing up and how she taught you that there is nothing that is insurmountable. She sounds awesome. What a blessing.
This sounds amazing! I make popcorn balls every Christmas for my fam (kids and grands), as they come to our house for Christmas. One grandson in particular LOVES them and even hides them in his coat to take home. 😊
I’m making your caramel corn today to give away to my kids and their family it looks so good! 🤗 thanks so much for sharing! And btw, I do all the things you do bc my hands are gifted by God except now I’m too old and have given everything else up except cooking, baking and quilting. I am gifting 3 quilts this Christmas to 3 of my grands they make such nice gifts and they love um. Hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Year 2025❗️🎄🤶🏽🎄💕
I always thought that pouring the melted caramel over the popcorn would deflate and essentially flatten the light and airy popcorn! Thank you for changing my mind!
I also grew up with my dad popping corn on the stove. I do it as well. Had a visitor one time that asked me how I learned to do that. 😂. Anyhow, it is MUCH better for you than the chemically-infused microwave bags. Everyone should pop their own corn on the stove.
I love the idea of thrifting the glass pans or cookie jars for gifts!! I usually bake Christmas treats and use cellophane or cute tins but I’m going to steal your idea! Thanks for sharing!!!
Oh my gosh , my first time watching you & I soooo enjoyed it! I’m hooked now! Merry Christmas & I have to go search your cookie videos now! Looking forward to appetizer ideas! 😎 Watching from NS , Canada.
My mom made this popcorn, but she would also make popcorn balls. I really need to make some this year! Thank you so much for the recipe and for jogging my memory!
Shawn: Thank you very much for this recipe. Luckily, I read that you should put it in the oven for 1 hour at 250 degrees, taking it out every 15 minutes to stir. It turns out VERY crispy and VERY delicious!
I enjoy your videos and your recipes. Looking forward to whatever you decide to make. I’d love to see more sourdough recipes and meal ideas on a budget etc. Have a great day!
I have a new sourdough already in the works and for the full month of January we will be doing a pantry challenge using what we have already so that should fit the budget friendly ideas for you. I’m so glad you are here!
Just made this recipe for an office Christmas party. It turned out great and was very easy. I did put mine in the oven for the extra crunch. It’s delicious!
Thank you. Life does make us who we are. I will try your recipes. I just ran into your channel. I will subscribe . Love your down to earth personality.
We also were a single mom family. She made this often. She put hers in a large paper grocery bag and would add a little caramel then shake, add more caramel shake etc. Mom also made popcorn balls with jello powder to add flavor and color. Thanks for the great memories.
I began watching because I wanted to make caramel corn today to use in the food baskets I’m gifting to friends next weekend. Loved watching you make it, but what I absolutely loved was the tribute to your mom. It was touching and made me tear up. I know she must be so proud of you! Thanks for sharing. ❤
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! My mom really is the best! Can you believe that I have sent the video to her to watch and she still hasn’t!!!! She’s a poop sometimes too. 😂
@ it will definitely make her cry happy tears. Mele Kalikimaka e Hau’oli Makahiki Hou! 🎄 (I’m originally from Honolulu, Hawaii….living in South Carolina). ❤️
You were blessed to have a mom who taught you so much! Thanks for this. I have always wanted to not go thru the baking of the carmel corn but never have. All recipes say to bake. I like it chewy, so I won't bake it anymore!
I made your carmel popcorn recipe on Christmas Eve day and packaged it up for all my grandkids. It was so easy, so yummy and came out perfect! Everyone loved it! Thank you for sharing your recipe. Im going to start making it a Christmas Tradition to make this for the grandkids every Christmas now. It was the first time I ever made carmel popcorn. Wishing You and Your Family a Blessed New Year!
You sound like you have a great mom. You seem like a really great person too. My mom also taught me to cook and clean and sew, but I could never put a roof on my home, or do any installing of appliances. Lol
Bacon wrapped water chestnuts, antipasto squares, spinach balls, and buffalo chicken dip are just some appetizers we make. Luckily I grew up surrounded by my aunts who were awesome cooks.
We have a new years gathering at my hub’s cousin’s every year. She makes a traditional family recipe called Firtins (sp) and we all bring a dish. His aunt makes bacon wrapped chestnuts. 😊
Love this. I watched a different video to make bread flour, for every cup of all purpose flour take out 2 Tablespoons of flour, add 2 Tablespoons of Cornstarch.
Looks yummy…I’m going to add peanuts too! I always buy butter on sale at Aldi during the holidays! My husband & I both go. We each buy the 6 limit with usually 3 packs of unsalted. It lasts us pretty much all year including cookie baking season.
This recipe is delicious! I made it for Christmas! Our family loved it. Making another batch for today Nrw Year's Eve! Happy to have found your channel😊
Your recipe looks great and so easy! Thank you! I really enjoyed your relaxed, conversational camera presence. This is my first time watching your channel and I'm looking forward to more of your videos. Liked and subscribed! 😊
What a great vlog and loved how you shared how your life was growing up by a single mom, she is awesome and taught you on to be independent. I have subscribed to your vogs and look forward to learning from you.
This is a very old Jiffy Pop carmel corn popcorn recipe! I’ve been making it for more then 40 years and yes it’s part of our Christmas holiday traditions.
Jiffy Pop! I don't eat pop corn but always loved making it and especially the Jiffy Pop just because it was so fun to do. My husband makes pop corn almost every night and the only time I'll try it is when he puts Kettle corn seasoning or cinnamon & sugar seasoning on it. Mostly he puts hot seasoning on his pop corn. This looks really tasty - I'm going to try this and add some peanuts or cashews (Cracker Jack that puppy!) I like making Chex Mix Deluxe for my family and friends, so many variations and really able to adjust the recipe to whoever I'm making it for - I like lots of cheese crackers, extra saucy, lots of peanuts, cashews, pecans with the variety of cereal, etc. but others may not like nuts or the cheese crackers. I make a "control" that has all the common ingredients, then divide that up into however many batches and start adding whatever the intended person likes...time consuming but everybody wants it each year.
Raised by an awesome single Mom too! I am who I am due to her amazing leadership! I can fix things, change my own oil, budget, clean, garden and can because of my amazing mother.. love my Mom!
I totally understand your child upbringing. I was raised the same way but I had 3 sister and 1 brother so we were a family of 5 and my mother could only support us on welfare 😢. And we turned out just fine 🙂 👍 👌
Both of my parents are gone now but as a child of the 60s we only had this option for popcorn-I still love it even today. My momma raised me strong as well- we need this generation to jump on the same bandwagon. Momma made us popcorn balls each fall-so yummy! God, Family and Friends-the best way to live💞

Then you glory your mother for making you who you are today. Let it go. There may be something you've yet to receive.

Why do u feel the need to blame your mother - or to even mention that ????

We do sound similar. Thanks for sharing this with me. ❤️
My elderly cousin, the age that my grandma would have been, used to make popcorn balls every Christmas. She used leftover popcorn from the business she had during the summer. They were great.
Using Leftover popcorn... That's a thought
Thank YOU for sharing this great idea.
One thing I learned from good Eats and Alton Brown for popping corn. You can use a large metal mixing bowl and cover with foil. Stab the foil about 8-10 times to let the steam escape, then keep turning the bowl so the heat is even. The bowl shape is optimal for the popcorn to cook since as they pop the unpopped kernels slide back down to the heat at the bottom and the popped kernels rise up and away from the heat.
Jiffy pop?😅
Darn - threw away my old metal mixing bowls!!
What or how would you use pecans in there? I love pecans in Carmel corn for myself. I’d even wrap it up for myself! Why not?? It’s something I love.. lol..

BAHAHAHAHAHA
I feel the same way...
Haven't made this in years. Starting a new tradition this year. Thanks for the hot sugar warning❤

First time catching you on UA-cam. Love this recipe... can't wait to try it!
Btw, you don't rant. You share with passion.
Haha 😂 I love that.
You Go Girl yes makes you stronger you know your moms strong I was a single parent I can relate

Thank you for sharing. I love your story. I've met many like you through my affiliation with the military. Blessings to you!!!
I love that you are strong and you are not a victim. Kudos to your Mom and you! You are wonderful. Merry Christmas!
I have been making this for over 20 years around Christmas.

Thank you!!! Caramel popcorn has always intimidated me, so I never tried it.
Today, I followed your recipe and it’s not only easy, it’s delish!!
We are so glad you loved it!
You were blessed to have a mom who taught you so much! Thanks for this. I have always wanted to not go thru the baking of the carmel corn but never have. All recipes say to bake. I like it chewy, so I won't bake it anymore!
Looks so yummy! Guess I’ll have to go make some!☺️. Thanks ever so much for the recipe. Jennie
M y aunt made it with pecans. Yum
Thank you for this recipe! I get SO tired of chocolate at Christmas and really appreciate other delicious flavors too!
You are so welcome!

Love your story
You sound like you have a great mom. You seem like a really great person too. My mom also taught me to cook and clean and sew, but I could never put a roof on my home, or do any installing of appliances. Lol
Ha ha! I think I can do anything. I can’t! Thanks for your kind comment.
Bacon wrapped water chestnuts, antipasto squares, spinach balls, and buffalo chicken dip are just some appetizers we make. Luckily I grew up surrounded by my aunts who were awesome cooks.
Yum! Those all sound amazing.
We have a new years gathering at my hub’s cousin’s every year. She makes a traditional family recipe called Firtins (sp) and we all bring a dish. His aunt makes bacon wrapped chestnuts. 😊
I love caramel corn thanks 😊
Love this.
I watched a different video to make bread flour, for every cup of all purpose flour take out 2 Tablespoons of flour, add 2 Tablespoons of Cornstarch.
Looks yummy…I’m going to add peanuts too!
I always buy butter on sale at Aldi during the holidays! My husband & I both go. We each buy the 6 limit with usually 3 packs of unsalted. It lasts us pretty much all year including cookie baking season.
They did one a few months ago and I hit all the local ones. Sadly we always used it all’s
i definately want the lemon meringue recipe. It is my favorite of all time. Please!!!
Just found your channel. Thanks for the recipe. Appreciate your story growing up. Stories like yours help us stay grounded. God Bless❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this.
My Grama used to make this but she used puffed wheat instead of popcorn. It was delicious!
That sounds amazing! I love that you can put your own twist on a classic!
You’re a ray of sunshine! Thanks for the smile today and I’m happy to subscribe!! Blessings to you!! Caramel popcorn?? Yes, please!!
You are so sweet! Thank you for the blessings!

I’ve always put my Carmel corn in the oven and stir it occasionally. I’ve never done it this way. Cool.
Love this channel....😋
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Sounds like you had a great Mom!❤

Sooooo enjoyed your vid. . You are amazingly wonderful and the Carmel Corn recipe too ❤
Great job. Thanks
Recipe great and you are fun to watch❤
What a great vlog and loved how you shared how your life was growing up by a single mom, she is awesome and taught you on to be independent. I have subscribed to your vogs and look forward to learning from you.
This is a very old Jiffy Pop carmel corn popcorn recipe! I’ve been making it for more then 40 years and yes it’s part of our Christmas holiday traditions.
Really?!?! I had no idea
I just made this same recipe but used corn pop cereal. The kids love it.
I've never thought of that! Genius.
@ recipe on UA-cam. It’s called corn pop crack! Great to munch on.
Coconut oil works really well and gives off a great flavor!
Can't wait to make this!!! ❤🎄❣️
Was hoping to share a photo, just made some and it's absolutely delicious ❤
I’m so glad! You can always email me littlehillhomesteadga@gmail.com
Jiffy Pop! I don't eat pop corn but always loved making it and especially the Jiffy Pop just because it was so fun to do. My husband makes pop corn almost every night and the only time I'll try it is when he puts Kettle corn seasoning or cinnamon & sugar seasoning on it. Mostly he puts hot seasoning on his pop corn. This looks really tasty - I'm going to try this and add some peanuts or cashews (Cracker Jack that puppy!)
I like making Chex Mix Deluxe for my family and friends, so many variations and really able to adjust the recipe to whoever I'm making it for - I like lots of cheese crackers, extra saucy, lots of peanuts, cashews, pecans with the variety of cereal, etc. but others may not like nuts or the cheese crackers. I make a "control" that has all the common ingredients, then divide that up into however many batches and start adding whatever the intended person likes...time consuming but everybody wants it each year.
Thank you for sharing, and bless your family!
Blessings to you as well!

That elf is from Ivory dish soap. I have 3, they came wrapped around the bottle. Maybe 70's
That’s awesome. We got it years ago out of an abandoned storage unit. I love that he has a story. Thanks for sharing this info.

Raised by an awesome single Mom too! I am who I am due to her amazing leadership! I can fix things, change my own oil, budget, clean, garden and can because of my amazing mother.. love my Mom!
Love that!
Go girl you rock.❤🇯🇲
I totally understand your child upbringing. I was raised the same way but I had 3 sister and 1 brother so we were a family of 5 and my mother could only support us on welfare 😢.
And we turned out just fine 🙂 👍 👌
It's good to hear you turned out well! It was a tough time back then and you're right, we all turned out great.
