Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 3/4 cup light brown or 'C' sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon soda
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 2 quart freshly popped corn
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
Directions
- Place in a sauce pan, the sugar, molasses, water, vinegar and butter.
- Cook without stirring until the candy forms a hard bali which clicks against the side of the glass when dropped into cold water.
- Add the soda, stir well and pour over the corn, which has been salted and placed in a large pan.
- Mix the syrup thoroughly with the corn, and when partially cool, moisten the hands and press the corn into balls of uniform size.
