OVEN CARAMEL CORN 5 qt. popped popcorn 1 c. margarine 2 c. brown sugar 1/2 c. light corn syrup 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. baking soda Spread freshly popped corn in a large, shallow sheet pan. Put in a very slow oven at 250 degrees to keep warm and crisp. Combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt in a 2 quart heavy saucepan. Place on medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Continue to boil to firm ball stage (248 degrees), about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda. Syrup will foam. Take popcorn from the oven and pour syrup over it in a fine stream. Stir to mix. Return popcorn to oven for 30 minutes; stir every 10 minutes. Cool and serve. Store in an airtight container in a cool place. Yields 5 quarts.
