Honey-Almond Popcorn
Time: 15 minutes prep, 1.25 hours cook
Servings: 8
Directions
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Grease two 15 x 10 x 1-Inch jellyroll pans.
- Pop popcorn following package instructions. Set aside to cool in a extra-large heat resistant bowl. Go through popcorn to remove any unpopped kernels.
- In a large saucepan, bring honey, sugar, butter and corn syrup to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 5 minutes; DO NOT STIR mixture at this point. Remove from heat and stir in almonds, baking soda and salt.
- Pour honey mixture over popcorn in bowl, stirring well to combine. Spread popcorn mixture between jellyroll pans. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and immediately turn onto greased waxed paper to cool. Break into pieces and store in airtight container.
- Cook's Tip:
- I do not recommend using microwave popcorn. It contains additional salt and butter, which will change the recipe drastically.
- Feel free to use any variety of nut. They all go well with this recipe. Pictured popcorn contains honey-roasted peanuts.
- Yield: 4 Quarts Popcorn
