Popcorn Balls
| Molasses, | 1 cup |
| Sugar (granulated), | ½ cup |
| Butter, | 1 tablespoon |
| Corn (not popped), | 1 cup |
The corn Betsey popped, picked over and put in a good-sized buttered pan, then shook just a little salt over it.
The butter, sugar and molasses she boiled until it became brittle when tried in cold water, then poured the candy slowly over the corn, stirring all the while.
Betsey then buttered her hands and shaped the corn into balls as soon as it was cool enough for her to handle.
