Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

The amaretto replaces the corn syrup nicely, which I didn't have tonight when my craving hit! The syrup was a bit thin even after boiling 3 minutes, so, I stirred the popcorn after baking 15 minutes. After baking an hour the result was caramel corn that was light and crunchy with a delicate amaretto flavor.

When I poured the mixture over the popped corn, the corn shriveled up and there is still liquid in the pan after 2 hours -- There must be some mistake in the amount of the amaretto. 1/2 CUP???
