There are so many creative and delicious ways to add flavor to air-popped popcorn. This version gives the healthy snack a touch of tangy sweetness, making it a great stand-in for caramel popcorn.

Feel free to add flavorful seasonings to plain balsamic vinegar (like cinnamon, allspice, pumpkin pie spice, and so on), or try various flavored vinegars.
