- 1 cup corn syrup

- 1 can sweetened condensed milk , 5 ounce

2
Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches the soft-crack stage. To test, the temperature should be between 270 to 290 degrees F (132 to 143 degrees C) and a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water should form hard but pliable threads.

Remove from the heat. Carefully pour condensed milk into the saucepan and stir until smooth.

4
Pour 1/4 of the caramel at a time over popcorn, stirring well after each addition.

Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Raspberry Lemon Meringue Pie
This raspberry meringue pie recipe adds raspberries to the classic and delicious lemon meringue pie, giving it a less sweet and brighter flavor. Sometimes I don't make the meringue; I just cool the lemon filling for 3 hours and garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a raspberry at serving time.
