Foodie Friday - Old Fashioned Pink Popcorn - AKA Mother Goose Popcorn

I FOUND IT!  I have been looking for this recipe for years!  This is the popcorn I loved as a child.  We referred to it as Mother Goose Popcorn.  This is not your typical sticky, pull your fillings out, popcorn.  It's not greasy like some caramel popcorn can be either.  It's PERFECT!  I can't wait until Kurt gets home!  I'm on my way to the nearest Redbox.   MOVIE NIGHT!!!


 Old Fashioned Pink Popcorn
(AKA Mother Goose Popcorn)

2 cups granulated sugar
2/3 cup half and half, cream or whole milk
1 TBLS 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 making the popcorn too sugary). Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until reaching 230 degrees or soft ball stage. Add vanilla and food coloring. Mix well. Pour over 6 quarts of popcorn and stir until well coated. Spread out on baking sheet and allow to dry. YUM.  This is VERY addicting!
