Sweet and Salty Popcorn with Orange Blossom
Honey
6 cups popped white popcorn
1 cup salted roasted nuts
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup orange-blossom honey
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Place popcorn and nuts in a large
ovenproof bowl and place in oven. Pour sugar into a small, heavy
saucepan and place over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally. When
sugar is melted and a light caramel color, add honey and stir until
smooth and liquid. Remove from heat.
Take popcorn from oven, sprinkle it with salt and then pour sugar
syrup over it. Using a potholder to steady bowl with one hand, stir
quickly, using a large fork, to fluff and coat popcorn. Spread on
baking sheet and let cool. Break into large pieces; store in an
airtight tin.
