Pink Frosted Popcorn
| Sugar (granulated), | 2 cups |
| Water, | ½ cup |
| Butter, | 1 tablespoon |
| Corn (not popped), | 1 cup |
| Powdered sugar. | |
| Strawberry juice. |
Betsey popped the corn, picked it over, then placed in a large buttered saucepan. The sugar, water and butter she cooked until a little of the syrup, dropped in cold water, became brittle, then she added enough strained strawberry juice (a few drops at a time) to make it just the shade of pink she liked best. This she then poured over the corn slowly, stirring all the while, next she shook an abundance of powdered sugar over it all and stirred it in until the kernels separated and rattled.
