9. Pyne's Popcorn

Pyne Popcorn
1 C Popcorn (pop-it)
1 C Margarine
3/4 C Karo Syrup
1 C sugar
3/4 tsp. salt

Boil all the ingredients for 5 minutes. Add 3/4 tsp. salt. Pour over popcorn and bake for 30 minutes at 250 degrees.

A big part of our marriage is about making traditions for our family. We have really tried to take both of our families and make our own. One thing that I love about Jake's side of the family is the recipes and the stories. Even though I have only been apart of the family for a few years by cooking their recipes I feel even closer. Also I want my children to learn about these traditions. One of the infamous recipes in the Pyne family is Pyne Popcorn. This is a candied popcorn. Also I love making popcorn because it takes me back to the days of going to my aunt Chris's house where she would make a huge, I mean HUGE (she has 10 kids and I come from a family of 5) pot of popcorn and we would put butter and salt and watch a movie with all the kids. I love popcorn and love how this recipe has brought our two families together.
