Just made today.I tasted the syrup with a piece of popcorn early on. Was so excited about the old fashioned flavor. Unfortunately,recipe has you add vanilla at the end..that totally changed the flavor to a likeness of Cracker Jacks. Bummer.Perhaps adding vinegar would have mellowed it out.(I didn't have any)Be very careful while handling the hot syrup as some got on my thumb giving me a blister. It is hard to incorporate syrup to all pieces of popcorn,but mine held together for most of it. I popped 2 bags of micro popcorn,was just the right amount.I put the loose popcorn stragglers in a baggie as kettle corn.Thank your Grandpa for sharing :)
