INSTRUCTIONS
Currants and diced apricots can replace the candy.
Place popped corn in bowl; set aside.
In small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring sugar, corn syrup, water,
butter and salt to boil; cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Cook,
without stirring, for 10 minutes or until at hard-ball stage of 254F 123C
on candy thermometer, or until 1/2 ts syrup dropped into cold water forms
rigid but still slightly pliable ball. Remove from heat. Wearing oven mitts
to shield against splatters, carefully stir in vanilla.
Pour over popped corn; using greased spoon, toss until coated. Stir in
candy. Wearing rubber gloves, form into 2-inch balls; let cool on baking
sheet.
