Salted Caramel Pecan Popcorn

Step 1: To make the popcorn in a dutch oven on medium high heat add 1 tablespoon oil and heat and then add the corn kernels; cover and swirl until the kernels pop and keep swirls until popping slows -- this will take about 5 minutes for all the kernels to pop. Set aside.

Step 2: Line a rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3: In a dutch oven on medium heat melt the butter and then add the pecans and brown sugar; bring to a boil and cook for 3 -5 minutes. Stir in salt and baking soda. Remove from heat and stir in the popcorn.

Step 4: Spread in the prepared pan and let cool for 15 minutes.
