This season, we use our favorite grain to create seasonal decorations and holiday treats.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
5 quarts popped corn
2 cups of sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Keep popcorn hot and crisp in slow oven (300° to 325°). Butter sides of saucepan. In it, combine remaining ingredients except vanilla. Cook to hard-ball stage (250°). Add vanilla. Pour slowly over hot popped corn, stirring just to mix thoroughly. Butter hands lightly; shape balls. Make 15 to 20 balls.
