Popcorn Balls are an old-fashioned indulgence, be it for Christmas or anytime. Here's a Christmas Carnivals offer for information on Popcorn Balls. The recipe serves to make 12 medium popcorn balls or more, depending on the count you wish to settle up on. The things you'll need are: salt, butter, vanilla, popped popcorn, light corn syrup and granulated sugar.
With a few easy- to- make steps, you'll get around to make the best-rated cook in the world! Pop some air-popped popcorn in a large pan. Keep it warm by placing it in an oven. Put sugar, corn syrup, butter, water and salt in a medium saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and stir all the time until the mixture comes to a boil. After some time, stop stirring and allow the syrup to cook until it reaches a fairly high temperature on a candy thermometer.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in vanilla. Take popcorn out of oven and pour hot syrup over popcorn a modest helping at a time, stirring constantly, until all of the popcorn is coated. Let popcorn cool slightly, until you can handle it. Lubricate your hands with butter and shape popcorn into balls. If you don't have a candy thermometer, test the syrup by dropping a spoonful into a glass of cold water - the syrup is done if it separates into hardened threads. Before the popcorn balls cool, embellish them with candy pieces. For Jell-O popcorn balls, melt butter and miniature marshmallows in microwave, then stir in a small package of Jell-O. Pour popped popcorn over the blend. For more on Popcorn Balls, surf Christmas Carnivals.
