Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method 1 1-2 quarts unbuttered popcorn lightly salted 1-2 cup brown sugar 1-2 cup granulated sugar 1-4 cup honey 1-3 cup water 1 tablespoon butter
Put popped corn in oven to keep warm. Combine sugars, honey, and water in a buttered 3-quart saucepan. Heat slowly, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Cook to firm ball stage (248‘). Add butter and stir only enough to mix. Slowly pour syrup over popcorn, tossing to mix. With buttered hands, shape into balls. Makes about 12.
ΡΡΡΡΡ Notes: Note: These are really good; only takes about 10 minutes to get to 248‘. Also, seems to me a 2-quart pan is sufficiently large for boiling syrup. I think I use more like 2-3 quarts of popcorn, too. Recipe's from the Strib in the 1970s or so. --
