Directions:
Preheat oven to 250º. Butter a large roasting pan. Combine the nuts and popcorn and place in the oven oven to heat through while making the glaze.
In a large heavy saucepan combine the sugar, syrup, butter, orange zest and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Boil 5 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and baking soda. Slowly, pour over the popcorn mix, stirring to coat well.
Bake until dry, stirring occasionally, about an hour. Remove from the oven and using a spatula, loosen from the bottom of pan. Cool completely in the pan. Break into clumps. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
