Categories: Candy
     Yield: 15 Balls

     1 c  Light or dark corn syrup
     1 c  Brown sugar; firmly packed
   1/4 c  Water
     1 ts Vinegar
     2 tb Margarine
     2 qt Unsalted popped corn

 Combine corn syrup, brown sugar, water, and vinegar in saucepan.
 Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a
 boil. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until temperature
 reaches 260 F, or until small amount of mixture dropped into very
 cold water forms a ball which is hard enough to hold its shape, yet
 plastic. Remove from heat. Quickly add margarine; blend. Slowly pour
 over popped corn in large bowl, mixing well. Shape into balls, using
 as little pressure as possible. (Grease hands, if desired.)

 Pink Cinnamon Popcorn Balls:

 Follow recipe for Old Fashioned Popcorn Balls, using light corn syrup
 and substituting granulated sugar for brown sugar. Add 1/4 cup red
 cinnamon candies to syrup when mixture boils.

 Pastel Popcorn Balls:

 Follow recipe for Pink Cinnamon Popcorn Balls, omitting red cinnamon
 candies. When adding margarine, add 2 ts vanilla and enough food
 coloring for desired shade.
