Molasses Pop-corn Balls
Always sift your corn after it is popped. For
home use, add butter and lemon flavor to your syrup. This is too
expensive for retail and factory use, though some use lard sparingly.
Boil molasses to a stiff ball, wet your tub, put in your corn; now with
a dipper pour over your candy and stir with a paddle through the corn,
wet your hands in cold water, make your balls and wrap in wax paper,
twisting the ends close to the balls.
