Editor's Note 10/23
POP CORN BALL
Pop the corn, throw aside all that is not opened nicely; put 1/2 bushel corn on the table or in a large pan; put a little water in a kettle with 1 lb. sugar and boil as for candy, until it becomes quite waxy when tried as for candy, then remove it from the fire and pour 6 or 7 table-spoonfuls of thick gum solution into it, made by pouring boiling hot water upon gum arabic over night or some hours before. Now pour the mixture upon different parts of the corn, until the corn is all saturated with the candy mixture. Press into balls with the hand; in doing this be quick, or it will set. White or brown sugar may be used.
