INSTRUCTIONS
Put the popcorn into a very large bowl, and sprinkle with salt. Combine
molasses, corn syrup, and vinegar in a saucepan; cook, stirring
occasionally, until a drop of nixture forms a soft ball in cold water
(240°). Continue cooking, stirring constantly, to 270° or until a little
mixture in cold water is slightly brittle. Remove from heat, add butter or
margarine, and stir only enough to mix. Pour over popcorn, tossing to coat
each kernel. Shape into balls. Yield: 10 (2-1/2 inch) popcorn balls.
