Velma’s Caramel Corn

Velma’s Caramel Popcorn

(This recipe) occupies a special place in my private recipe file not only because of its flavor, but also because it keeps so well. Once cool, and stored in an airtight container, such as an empty White Cat canister, it stays crisp and crunchy.” – Carol Adkins, Pres. White Cat

1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white corn syrup
1/2 cup butter
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup corn, popped
1 cup toasted chopped pecans

Put the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, cream of tartar and salt in a heavy saucepan. Melt over medium heat and bring to a boil. Boil 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the baking soda. Stir well. Pour over the popped corn and pecans. Stir well, put in a baking pan and bake at 250 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour onto buttered cookie sheets to cool.
