pink popcorn

Old Fashioned Pink Popcorn

2 cups Sugar
2/3 cup half & half, cream or whole milk
1 TBS white corn syrup
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
few drops red food coloring

Place sugar, cream, corn syrup and salt in saucepan on a medium heat. Stir well and cook until sugar has fully dissolved before allowing mixture to boil (this is important to avoid rendering the popcorn too sugary). Continue to cook stirring occasionally until reaching 230 degrees or slightly soft ball stage. Add vanilla and food coloring. Mix well. Pour over 6 quarts of popcorn and stir until well coated. Spread out on flat surface to let dry and cool.
