Jennys Harvest Popcorn Mix

    My dd's birthday is 3 days before Halloween and we like to stay away from a halloween theme. I found this recipe and decided to bag it up in favor bags for each of the kids. I loved the fall taste of the spices (we did not use nuts) and added my own dried apples with skins still on and raisins. It was a hit! I like the idea of adding dried bananas and I'll try that next. I have never made oven baked caramel popcorn and this was very easy for me. With the hot caramel I would suggest not letting young children help you when pouring the caramel onto the popcorn or stiring it either.

    Steps

    1
    Done

    First, Freshly Pop Your Popcorn and Measure Out 3 Quarts, Then Sift Through Your Popcorn to Remove Any Unpopped Kernels.

    2
    Done

    Make Sure You Have a Large Shallow Sheet Pan Handy (use a Jelly Roll Pan) and You May Wish to Line It With Foil or Parchment Paper.

    3
    Done

    Preheat Oven to 250f.

    4
    Done

    in a Very Large Bowl, Mix Together the Popcorn, Dried Apples, Raisins, and Nuts; Set Aside.

    5
    Done

    Combine Brown Sugar, Butter, Corn Syrup, and Salt in a 2 Quart Size Saucepan.

    6
    Done

    Cook Over Medium Heat, Stirring Until the Sugar Dissolves.

    7
    Done

    Continue to Boil to the Firm Ball Stage (248f on a Candy Thermometer), About 5 Minutes.

    8
    Done

    Do not Overcook!

    9
    Done

    Remove from Heat and Stir in the Spices and the Baking Soda.

    10
    Done

    Pour Hot Caramel Over the Popcorn Mixture and Stir Quickly to Coat.

    11
    Done

    Spread Popcorn Mixture Evenly on Your Pan.

    12
    Done

    Bake at 250 F For 45-50 Minutes, Stirring Every 15 Minutes.

    13
    Done

    Remove from Oven and Allow to Cool Completely (or You Will Burn Your Tongue- the Caramel Gets Scalding Hot).

    14
    Done

    I Often Leave Out Apples, but You Can Also Use Other Dried Fruits If You Desire Such as Dried Cranberries or Apricots.

    15
    Done

    Just Make Sure Your Dried Fruits Are Very Fresh- If They Are Too Dried Out from Age, They Will Tend to Burn.
