Confetti Snack Mix

10 c. popped popcorn

1/2 c. sweetened flaked coconut, toasted

1/2 c. chopped almonds, toasted

1 c. Sun-Maid California Apricots, chopped or Sun-Maid Fruit Bits

1/4 c. butter

2 T. apricot or strawberry jam

2 T. brown sugar, packed

1/2 t. cinnamon

Combine popcorn, coconut, almonds and fruit in a large mixing bowl; set aside. Melt butter with jam, brown sugar and cinnamon in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Continue heating to soft-ball stage, or 234 to 240 degrees on a candy thermometer. Drizzle hot sugar mixture over popcorn mixture; tossing quickly with a spoon until mixture is evenly coated and cool. Makes about 12 cups.

Give an old favorite a new twist…add dried fruit to a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. Big and little kids will love it!
