Caramel Corn
Submitted by Sheryle on February 18, 2005 at 1:47 pm

4 quarts freshly popped corn (I use popcorn popped on stove)

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup butter
1/2 tsp salt

Put popcorn in 13X9 inch sheet pan or bigger (I recommend a larger pan. I use one of those large disposable aluminum turkey roasting pans).

In 1 1/2 quart saucepan combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, salt and vanilla. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil 5 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat and pour over popcorn, stir until well coated.

Bake in a preheated oven at 250 degrees for 1 hour. Stir every 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Store in a tightly covered tin.
