Popcorn Balls

Discard all hard corn kernels.

Use a large pan (such as turkey roasting pan) to mix in.

Combine syrup, sugar, water, vinegar and salt; cook slowly, stirring constantly to 270° or to hard ball stage (test by dropping a spoonful in cold water).

Remove from heat; add vanilla and oil, stirring only enough to mix.

Pour over popped corn, stirring constantly until all corn is coated.

Slip Baggies on both hands; grease lightly.

Work quickly; shape lightly into balls.

Put popcorn balls on wax paper to cool, then wrap each in its own Baggie.
