Cinnamon-honey popcorn

8 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
10 cups Popcorn, air-popped -- * see
Note
⅓ cup Honey
1 cup Peanuts, oil-roasted
1 teaspoon Orange zest
½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon -- ** see
Note
4 tablespoons Margarine -- solid

Directions

* About ½ cup corn unpopped; exact measurements are not required for this recipe. ** If you prefer, use another spice instead of cinnamon. Try nutmeg and allspice, or pumpkin pie spice.

In a very large bowl or pan, mix popped corn and peanuts. In a small pan, mix the margarine, honey, orange zest and cinnamon. Heat, stirring, until the margarine is melted. With a wooden spoon or spatula in one hand, slowly pour this mixture over popcorn, tossing and mixing lightly as you pour. Place on a large cookie sheet, trying to layer as thinly as possible. Roast at 325 degrees, turning the popcorn every 5 minutes. When crispy, transfer to a platter and cool to room temperature. Do not overcook. May be stored in popcorn can or container at this point.
