I found this recipe in a cookbook, one of the Taste of Home publications. Such a fun change from the ordinary popcorn treat. Could easily be made with orange or lime too!

Ingredients
4 1/2 quarts popped popcorn
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
Instructions
Place popcorn in two greased 15“x10” sheet pans. Keep warm in a 225 degree oven. Meanwhile, in a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and water; bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally until mixture reaches 290 degrees on a candy thermometer (soft-crack stage). Remove from the heat; quickly stir in extract and baking soda. Pour over warm popcorn. Sprinkle with lemon peel; stir until well coated. Store in an airtight container.
