Bake in a preheated 250 degrees oven, stirring every 15 minutes for 1 hour. Cool completely. Break apart and store in a tightly covered container. Makes about 3 quarts. How to pop corn: To pop corn in an electric popper follow manufacturer's directions but for the Honey Crackle, do not add salt or butter. To pop corn without an electric popper, measure 3 tablespoons salad (not olive) oil into a deep heavy 5 to 6 quart saucepot. Place over medium heat and add a popcorn kernel. When the kernel pops, remove it and add 1/2 cup popcorn kernels. Stir to mix popcorn and oil. Place cover on pan leaving it slightly ajar to allow steam to escape. Shake pan often while corn is popping. Near the end of the popping, remove cover completely and stir until the last few kernels pop. Makes about 3 quarts popped corn to use in the recipe for Honey Crackle. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
