Cracker Jack-style Caramel Corn

I grew up eating soft caramel corn, and have converted Bart to the same. However, this yummy recipe from his mother Belle's Aunt Bessie is what he was used to eating before he met me.

2 c. brown sugar
2 sticks butter
1/2 c. light corn syrup
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar

Boil brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add baking soda and cream of tartar. Pour caramel sauce over 10 quarts of popped popcorn and stir to coat. Bake for 1 hour at 200 degrees.
