2 cup Brown sugar
1/2 cup Light corn syrup
2 Sticks butter
1 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Cream of tartar
1 tsp. Baking soda
Recipe
Preheat over to 200 degrees F. Divide the popcorn between two large
bowls.
Oil 2 lipped cookie sheets very well and set aside. In a deep saucepan,
combine
brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, salt and cream of tartar. Insert candy
thermometer. Bring to a boil and cook the mixture over medium heat for
about 5 min,
stirring occasionally, until the thermometer registers 260 degrees
F.(hard
ball stage). Remove from the heat and quickly stir in baking soda. The
mixture
will foams. Pour the syrup mixture over the popcorn, half into each
bowl. Work
quickly to coat all the popcorn with the caramel. Spread popcorn evenly
on the
cookie sheets and bake for 1 hour, stirring 3 times. Remove from oven
and
spread popcorn on wax paper to cool, breaking up the larger pieces, if
necessary.
Store in airtight container.
