Cranberry
Popcorn Balls
- 2 cups granulated sugar
1 (10-ounce) package (1 cup) frozen cranberry-orange relish
1/2 cup cranberry juice
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 quarts unsalted popped popcorn
- Combine all ingredients,
except popcorn, in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil; lower heat
and cook to 250*F (120*C) on a candy thermometer. Mixture will
bubble up in pan, so watch to keep from boiling over.
- Pour slowly onto hot popcorn
and mix until well-coated. Let stand 5 minutes or until mixture
can easily be formed into balls. Butter hands and form into 3-inch
balls.
Makes 18 balls.
