Recipe - Flavored Popcorn

One half cup Margarine
1 cup Sugar
One fourth cup Light corn syrup
One half teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Baking soda
1 One half teaspoon Flavoring
2/3 cup Raw popcorn

Pop the popcorn and place it in a large grocery bag. Place the margarine,
corn syrup, salt, and sugar in a large bowl and microwave it on HIGH for 1
minute. Stir well. Microwave it on HIGH until it reaches a boil and then
microwave it on HIGH for 2 minutes. Stir in baking soda, flavor and
coloring (if desired). Pour over the popcorn and stir well, making sure the
popcorn is wellcoated. Roll the bag shut and microwave it on HIGH for 90
seconds. Stir well, roll shut and microwave it for 60 on HIGH. Roll the bag
down (or tear it down) and leave open on its side. Microwave for 60 seconds
on High. Pour out onto wax paper and spread it out to cool. When cool,
break apart and remove any "old maids". Store in airtight container if
it lasts that long ! This fills one of the 5 qt. ice cream buckets. For
caramel corn: Use brown sugar instead of white and use vanilla or caramel
flavoring. If you use the Lorann oils, one of the small bottles is the
right amount of flavoring. Posted to EATL Digest by Barbara klear
