Popcorn is a delicious treat whether it is plain or
seasoned. When I am in the mood for a sweet snack I usually head straight for
chocolate chip cookies or a brownie. However, this recipe for cracker jacks
would be the perfect combination of sweet and salty to satisfy my craving!
CRACKER JACKS
Start with 8 or 9 cups of popcorn. Put into a dishpan
with enough room to move it around easily. In a separate pan, combine 2 cups of
packed brown sugar, 1 stick of butter or margarine, 1 teaspoon of salt, 3/4 cup
white syrup (like corn syrup) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Cook together at a
full rolling boil for 5 minutes. If it spins a thread, it is ready. Add 1/2
teaspoon of baking soda. (Hold pan over dishpan of corn before adding soda so
that if it runs over, it will fall on the corn.) Stir a moment. Pour over
popped corn. Stir until all is coated well. Put in a roaster in 200-degree oven
for 1 hour. Stir occasionally so it will not become one mass. Store in a
covered container.
