Name: Molasses Popcorn Balls
Ingredients: 1 1/3 c Molasses; 2 c Granulated sugar; 2 1/3 c Water; 2 ts Vinegar; 1 1/2 ts Baking soda; 3 1/2 qt Popcorn; popped

The terms "evening" (Hebrew ereb) and "morning" (Hebrew boger) each occur more than one hundred times in the Old Testament and always have the literal meaning – that is, the termination of the daily period of light and the daily period of darkness, respectively. Similarly, the occurrence of "day" modified by a numeral (e.g., "third day") is a construction occurring more than one hundred times in the Pentateuch alone, always with a literal meaning. Even though it may challenge our minds to visualize the lands and the seas, and all plants, being formed in one literal day, that is exactly what the Bible says! We are not justified at all in questioning either God's power to do this or His veracity in telling us that He did.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/3	c	Molasses
2	c	Granulated sugar
2 1/3	c	Water
2	ts	Vinegar
1 1/2	ts	Baking soda
3 1/2	qt	Popcorn; popped

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine molasses, sugar, water, and vinegar in a 2 quart saucepan.  Cook
and stir until sugar dissolves.  Then boil gently until syrup reaches 250
on a candy thermometer.  Remove pan from heat, add baking soda, and stir to
mix thoroughly. (Baking soda makes hot syrup bubble up and fizz).  Then
pour this hot syrup over popcorn in a large bowl.  Mix with spoon until
coats all the corn.  While the syrup cools enough to touch, butter your
hands.  Or put on plastic gloves so hands won't be burned.  Shape corn into
balls.  Work fast. Pack them lightly so they are easy to eat.  Put popcorn
ball in a plastic sandwich bag.  Tie the top shut to keep the popcorn ball
clean and dry.
