  16      c             Popped popcorn *
   1      c             Sugar
     1/4  c             Brown sugar
     1/4  c             Water
     1/2  c             Light corn syrup
     1/4  c             Butter
     1/2  ts            Baking soda
     1/2  ts            Anise extract
   1      tb            Black food coloring

* 2 tb unpopped popcorn will produce 4 cups of popped popcorn.

Place popcorn in large buttered baking pan. Put the sugars, water,
and corn syrup into a heavy pan over medium heat and stir. After the
mix has boiled, scrape sides of pan. Place a candy thermometer in the
pan and cook, without further stirring, to 250 F. Remove pan from
heat and stir in butter, baking soda, anise extract and food
coloring. Pour over popcorn, mixing well. Bake, uncovered, for
1 hour, stirring occasionally. When cooled, store in air-tight
containers.
