Christmas Popcorn
Why I Love This Recipe
This is colorful popcorn that is sweet. Great for the family get togethers.
Ingredients You'll Need
1/2 cup white corn syrup
1 cup margarine
1 teaspoon salt
1 drop red food coloring
1 drop green food coloring
1 teaspoon cinnamon oil
1 teaspoon baking soda
8 quarts popped popcorn
Directions
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine corn syrup, margarine and salt.
Heat to 242 to 248 degrees F, or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a firm but pliable ball.
Remove from heat, divide into to 2 pans and stir in food coloring, one red & one green.
Add equal amounts of cinnamon oil and baking soda to each.
Pour over popcorn; 4 quarts, red & 4 quarts green, toss to coat.
Place popcorn on baking sheet and into preheated oven.
Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Consider using more sugar or salt depending on desired flavor.
I also add about 4 more quarts of the plain popcorn, white to add more color.
Can made 1/2 of the coating without coloring or just add plain after the colored popcorn has cooked.
