Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 cups popped unsalted popcorn (from 1/2 cup kernels)
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup water
5 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon distilled white vinegar

Steps:

  • Combine popcorn and golden raisins in a large bowl.
  • Bring sugar, water, corn syrup, salt, and vinegar to a boil in a saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Clip a candy thermometer to side of pan, and continue to cook, without stirring, until mixture reaches 290 degrees, about 14 minutes.
  • Pour hot syrup over popcorn mixture, and stir until well coated. Working quickly, shape mixture into 2 1/2-inch balls, and transfer to parchment to cool.
