--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 50                    Cloves fresh garlic (about 4
                       -heads)
  2       ts           Salt
  4       c            Shredded Cheddar cheese
                       -(about 1 lb.)
  5       qt           Popped corn (about 1/2 cup
                       -unpopped)

 Peel garlic and mince with salt to prevent sticking
 and to absorb garlic juices.  Toss garlic with cheese.
 In large glass or plastic bowl, make alternate layers
 of popped corn and garlic-cheese mixture, coating
 popcorn as evenly as possible, especially at edge of
 bowl.  Place in microwave oven and cook 1 minute.
 Shake bowl gently; turn 180 degrees and cook 1 more
 minute.  Do not overcook.  Immediately turn out onto
 cookie sheet, and quickly shape into plum-size balls.
 Set balls on sheets of waxed paper. Makes 4 dozen
 popcorn balls.
