			Directions:
			Keep popcorn warm in a 300-degree oven.    In a heavy medium-sized saucepan, combine sugar, water, corn syrup, vinegar and salt.  Bring to a boil;  clip candy thermometter to pan.  Cook syrup to 250 degrees (hardball stage).  Stir in almond extract.  Scatter cherries and almonds over the popcorn.  Slowly pour syrup over all;  toss lightly to coat evenly.    Spread popcorn on buttered cookie sheet.  Cool.  Serve.
