STRAWBERRY POPCORN

Steps:
- Pop corn in an air popper.
- Boil the sugar, butter, water and food coloring for 3 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Slowly poor the sugar mixture over the popcorn and toss to coat evenly.
- Let dry on a cookie sheet. To speed this process dry in a 200 degree oven for 10 minutes, watching carefully.
Tips:
- To achieve the perfect pink color, use a combination of red and yellow food coloring. Start with a small amount of each color and gradually add more until you reach the desired shade.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- To prevent the popcorn from sticking together, make sure the sugar syrup is completely dissolved before adding the popcorn.
- Work quickly when coating the popcorn with the sugar syrup. The syrup will start to harden as it cools, so you need to work quickly to ensure that all of the popcorn is coated evenly.
- Spread the coated popcorn out on a baking sheet to cool. This will help to prevent the popcorn from sticking together.
