Pumpkin Pie Popcorn - Recipe #82 of 98

1/4 c Water
3 tb Butter
1 ts Pumpkin Pie Spice
8 c Popped Corn
1 c Light Brown Sugar (packed)
1/4 c Light Corn Syrup
2 qt Popped Popcorn (8 c Popped, 1/2 c Kernels)

In a heavy saucepan, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, water, butter, and pumpkin pie spice. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat and gently boil, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer reaches 285 degrees F (syrup separates into hard, but not brittle, threads when dropped into very cold water). Gradually pour over popcorn, tossing to coat evenly. Spread out on a lightly buttered cookie sheet. Cool and break into small pieces.
