Oven Caramel Corn--updated 2/1/2008

Di’s Caramel Corn from http://skiptomylou.wordpress.com/ I have a recipe that is from Elida Bruner for oven caramel corn. As soon as I find it, I will double check the recipe and may add it to this post.

(Update: I found Elida's recipe and it is so similar to Di's. It calls for 15 cups of popcorn and no vanilla)

½ Cup butter (1 stick)
1 Cup light brown sugar
¼ Cup light corn syrup
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon baking soda
3 quarts (12 cups) popped corn

In heavy saucepan on medium to medium-high heat melt butter then add brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring mixture to a boil stirring constantly. Once mixture boils stop stirring and boil for 5 minutes (Do not stir), remove from heat and carefully stir in vanilla and baking soda. Pour mixture over popped corn. Gently stir to coat popcorn. Place popcorn into a large roaster or rimmed baking sheet and bake at 225° F for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
