Cracker Jacks

Different times I have made this up and put in containers for gifts.

Large roaster put 5 or 6 quarts of popped popcorn.

In a pot prepare:
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup white corn syrup
1/2 lb butter or oleo
Boil 5 minutes and take from heat. Add:
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
Blend and pour over popcorn mixing well.  Bake at 250 for 40 minutes stirring occasionally.  Spread on wax paper to cool.

The recipe doesn't call for peanuts but I usually add some in with the popcorn.
