Got this one from a friend who got it from his mother-in-law (who got it
from her mother).  Pretty good.

	Carmel Corn

1 cup (1/2 lb) butter or margarine
2 cups (firmly packed) brown sugar (must be cane sugar - beet sugar 
					crystalizes)
1/2 cup light (or dark) cory syrup (or honey)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
6 qts popped popcorn

Melt butter over medium heat, stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt.
Bring to boil, stirring constantly; boil without stirring for 5 min.

Remove from heat; stir in soda and vanilla.  

Gradually pour over popped corn, mixing well.

Turn into 2 large shallow baking or roasting pans.  Bake at 250F for 1 hour,
stirring every 15 min.  Remove from oven, cool completely.  Break apart.

Store in tightly covered container.
