How to Make Donna's Mother Goose Popcorn
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Continue cooking without stirring until the mixture reaches 235-240°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Be careful, the mixture will get very hot!
- Remove from heat and carefully stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and a few drops of your favorite food coloring (optional).
- Immediately pour the hot mixture evenly over 6 cups of freshly popped popcorn in a large bowl.
- Stir gently but quickly to coat all the popcorn.
- Spread the popcorn on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and harden. Once cooled, break apart any large clumps.
