unknown


List of Ingredients

5 quarts popcorn, popped
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla


Recipe

Keep popped corn hot and crisp in oven (300 - 325ºF). Butter sides of saucepan. In it combine sugar, water, salt, corn syrup, and vinegar. Cook to hard-stage (250ºF). Add vanilla. Pour slowly over hot popped corn, mixing well to coat every kernel. Press into balls (butter hands if necessary). Try not to burn your hands. Instead of buttering our hands, can have a bowl of cold water in which to wet hands to keep the syrup from sticking and it also helps insulate from the hot syrup.
