Instructions
 

  • In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil with 3 popcorn kernels over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Keep an eye out for the kernels to pop; as soon as they do, the oil is ready (remove the three popcorns quickly so they don't burn).
  • Put the remaining popcorn kernels in the saucepan and cover it.
  • Shake the saucepan to ensure that the kernels are all in one layer.
  • Keep cooking the popcorn with the lid on over medium-high heat until all of the kernels start popping.
  • Gently shake the pan from side to side and back and forth a few times.
  • The popcorn is ready when the popping has slowed to one pop every few seconds.
  • In the meantime, take a pan and put some foil on it and spray it with cooking spray.
  • Take the cover from the popcorn and place it in the saucepan.
  • To the prepared popcorn, add the pecan halves.
  • In a separate pan, over medium heat, melt the butter.
  • Add brown sugar and corn syrup and cook for 5 minutes, stirring continuously.
  • After 5 minutes add baking soda and vanilla extract and mix very well with a spoon.
  • Pour the sauce on top of the popcorn and pecans and toss them with a spoon.
  • Bake the popcorn in a preheated oven at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and break the popcorn.
  • Enjoy Brenda Gantt Caramel Popcorn!
