Popcorn

A Splendid substitute for sugar sweets.

Pop the dried corn in a regular popper or a covered iron frying pan, shaking vigorously and taking care not to let it burn. A cup of dried corn will make three quarts when popped. It is good mixed with a little salt or melted butter and salt.

To make a sweet of it, combine with syrup. Boil together one cup corn syrup and one tablespoon vinegar until a few drops harden in water. Pour over the popped corn while the syrup is hot.

This amount of syrup will cover three quarts of popped corn. As soon as the mass is cool enough to handle, grease the hands well and form into balls.
