Was so happy to see this recipe. My grandmother use to mix up popcorn balls in a big enamel pan, they were so good but never had any luck duplicating them for my grandchildren, had forgot she used tartar & vinegar. Think this is the recipe I needed, thank you so much for posting.


Sounds good to me!
