...one that truly is the epitiome of great family memories!

Grandma's Popcorn Balls

1 cup Karo syrup
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon soda
4 quarts popcorn, air-popped

1. Boil sugar, syrup, cream of tartar to soft ball stage (235 -240). Bring just to a boil.

2. Remove from stove. Add butter and soda. Stir well. Pour over popcorn.

3. Cool and shape into balls. Wrap with plastic wrap and tie with a ribbon.

Note: The texture of these varies greatly. Careful not to boil too long or use too much popcorn, or else they will get quite hard.
