How to Sugar Popcorn
| Sugar (granulated), | 2 cups |
| Water, | ½ cup |
| Butter, | 2 tablespoons |
| Corn (not popped), | ¾ cup |
Betsey, after first popping the corn, put the sugar, water and butter in a saucepan. When the candy was boiling Betsey added the popcorn gradually, until all had been added that the syrup would cover, then stirred gently from the bottom until the sugar formed grains on the corn.
It was then turned into a dish to cool.
