Old timey popcorn balls

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
20 cups Popcorn (1 cup unpopped)
2 cups Sugar
1 cup Water
½ cup Light corn syrup
1 teaspoon Vinegar
½ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Directions

Preheat oven to 300. Remove all unpopped kernels from popped corn. Put popcorn in a large roasting pan; keep warm in oven. Butter the sides of a 2-quart saucepan. In it combine sugar, water, corn syrup, vinegar, and salt. Cook to 270 deg (soft-crack stage), stirring frequently (mixture should boil gently over entire surface). Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.

Slowly pour mixture over hot popcorn. Stir just until mixed. Butter hands; using a buttered cup, scoop up popcorn mixture. Shape with buttered hands into 2-½ to 3-inch balls.
