Title: Cinnamon-Honey Popcorn
Categories: Holidays
Yield: 8 Servings

10 c Popcorn, air-popped; * see
-note
1/3 c Honey
1 c Peanuts, oil-roasted
1 ts Orange zest
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon; ** see note
4 tb Margarine; solid

* About 1/2 cup corn unpopped; exact measurements are not required for this
recipe. ** If you prefer, use another spice instead of cinnamon. Try nutmeg
and allspice, or pumpkin pie spice.

In a very large bowl or pan, mix popped corn and peanuts. In a small
pan, mix the margarine, honey, orange zest and cinnamon. Heat, stirring,
until the margarine is melted. With a wooden spoon or spatula in one hand,
slowly pour this mixture over popcorn, tossing and mixing lightly as you
pour. Place on a large cookie sheet, trying to layer as thinly as possible.
Roast at 325 degrees, turning the popcorn every 5 minutes. When crispy,
transfer to a platter and cool to room temperature. Do not overcook. May be
stored in popcorn can or container at this point.

content.
