For many years, we prepared this spiced popcorn during the holidays for gift giving. We always had to make a triple batch because no one could stop eating it!Lee Bremson, Kansas City, Missouri Ingredients:
3 quarts air-popped popcorn |
2/3 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
2 tablespoons maple syrup |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
Directions:
1. Place popcorn in a large bowl; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 5 minutes without stirring.
2. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla and baking soda (mixture will foam). Quickly pour over popcorn and mix well.
3. Transfer to two lightly greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans. Bake at 250° for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove from pans and place on waxed paper to cool. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 3 quarts.
