Continue to boil gently, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reaches 280~ (syrup separates into hard, but not brittle, threads when dropped into very cold water). Remove from heat and stir in rum extract. Pour over popcorn and raisins. Spread out evenly on a lightly buttered cookie sheet. Cool and break into small pieces.
