Ingredients

• 8 cups popcorn
• 1/2 chopped dried blueberries
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp freeze-dried blueberry powder
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• 1/4 tsp lemon extract or 1 tbsp lemon juice

Directions

1. Add popcorn and dried blueberries to large bowl.
2. Combine sugar and 1 tbsp water in a small saucepan set over medium heat; bring to a boil. Cook swirling pan for 3 to 5 minutes or sugar melts and starts to caramelize to an even golden-brown color. Stir in butter; cook for 1 to 2 minutes on and off the stove being careful not to burn the sugar and letting the residual heat cook the butter, until caramel thickens to a syrupy consistency.                              
3. Stir in blueberry powder, lemon zest and lemon extract.
4. Immediately drizzle lemon-blueberry syrup while still hot off the stove over popcorn; toss to evenly coat. Cool completely and serve.

Tip:  Add candied lemon zest to popcorn if desired.
