Fruit-Flavored Popcorn

• 3 quarts popped popcorn
• 1 package fruit-flavored unsweetened soft drink mix (makes 1 quart)
• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup water

Keep popped corn warm in a 250° F. oven. Combine sugar, soft drink mix, and water in a heavy saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil and cook to soft-crack stage (270° F. on candy thermometer). Remove popcorn from oven. Pour syrup in a steady stream over popped corn; toss to mix thoroughly. Return to oven for 10 minutes. Cool and store in an airtight container.
