My Great Grandpa Apell made these old-fashioned crunchy popcorn balls for all his grandkids at Christmastime. He had a huge farm in Illinois with prize-winning corn. He lived to be 106 and claimed workin’ the farm and eatin’ corn was the secret!

- 1 cup light corn syrup
- ½ cup butter
- ¼ cup water
- salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar (Optional)
- 5 quarts popped popcorn

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter and water. Stir and heat to hard-crack stage or 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove from heat, add vanilla or vinegar; mix well.
Step 2
Pour slowly over popped popcorn while stirring. Wait 5 minutes and shape into 3 inch round balls.
