2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Cook the sugar, syrup, butter, and vinegar until it forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water (soft ball stage on a candy thermometer). Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Add food coloring if desired.
Melissa’s Comments: I think we can guess what color food coloring Grandma liked to use! *grin*
Now I want popcorn balls.
