Popcorn extract

A couple of days ago, I put up some popcorn extract.  That's right:  popcorn extract.  "Why would anyone want that?" you may saltily ask.  The why is going to have to wait until I get around to making it.  Until then, I have to see if making a popcorn extract will actually work.  By gum, it does!  I really think the vacuum sealer is speeding up my infusions.

The first taste after 48 hours is amazing.  It's like popcorn.  There is even a layer of oil floating on the top of the jar.  I didn't think this one would actually work, but the vodka infusion tastes like fresh popped popcorn.  However, is it enough to use it for flavoring.  I've decided it is not . . . yet.  Tomorrow I plan on popping another batch of corn and restocking the infusion.  It is amazing watching hot popcorn shrink under the onslaught of vodka!
