60 ml(2.5 cup) butter or margarine
240 ml(1 cup) popcorn
2.5 ml(0.5 teaspoon) salt

Add popcorn and spread evenly on bottom
Cover tightly and shake skillet over heat until corn is popped
Put popped corn in mixing bowl, sprinkle with salt, and mix gently.
Put molasses, corn syrup, and vinegar in large saucepad, and mix.
Boil, stirring occasionally, until syrup reaches soft-ball stage, 115° C(240°F).
Continue to boil, stirring constantly, until syrup reaches soft-crack stage, 132°C(270°F)
Add butter or margarine, and stir until just melted.
Pour syrup over popped corn, stirring gently to mix thoroughly.
Shape with hands, when cool enough to handle, into balls and about 6 cm(2.5)inches in diameter. In forming balls, use as little pressure as possible so that popped corn will not be broken and balls will not to bee too tightly packed. A little butter or margarine on hands before shaping balls helps to keep candy from sticking to hands.
