Easy Caramel Popcorn

Requested: Non Baked Caramel Popcorn
From: Patty
This recipe we made as teenagers over 50 years ago. We melted butter in a
cast iron skillet, added sugar and stired until it was light caramel
color. Baking soda was added to this and then poured over popped corn. No
baking was necessary. I don't remember how much of any of the ingredients.


Easy Caramel Popcorn

2 packages microwave PLAIN popcorn
4 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
pinch cream of tarter
1/2 to 1 cup nut, whatever kind or amount you like (roasted peanuts,
pecans, etc)

Cook popcorn in microwave according to package directions. Remove uncooked
kernals. Pour into a bowl large enough to have room to toss. In a skillet
or saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, Add sugars, water, and vanilla.
Add a pinch of cream of tarter. Stir together and bring to a boil,
continuing to boil for 3 or 4 minutes, while stirring.
Toss popcorn with nuts and half the syrup. Then add the other half of
syrup and toss all together. Store in air tight container.
