I love the unexpected lemony flavor of this light snack, says field editor Trudie Hagen of Roggen, Colorado. Ingredients:
4-1/2 quarts popped popcorn |
2 cups sugar |
1/2 cup light corn syrup |
1/2 cup water |
1 tablespoon lemon extract |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel |
Directions:
1. Place popcorn in two greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans. Keep warm in a 225° oven.
2. Meanwhile, in a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and water; bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally until mixture reaches 290° on a candy thermometer (soft-crack stage). Remove from the heat; quickly stir in extract and baking soda. Pour over warm popcorn. Sprinkle with lemon peel; stir until well coated. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 5 quarts.
