Fruit and Popcorn Balls
Ingredients:
snacks, popcorn, air-popped (unsalted)
sugars, brown
apple juice, canned or bottled, unsweetened, without added ascorbic acid
butter, without salt
syrups, corn, light
salt, table
cranberries, dried, sweetened
Directions:
Butter a very large bowl.
Add popped popcorn and your selection of the 2 cups of fruit and/or nuts.
I like 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries and 1/2 cup chopped cashews.
Heat brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, salt, and juice until just boiling.
Pour over dry ingredients in bowl.
Butter hands with additional butter or cooking spray and form into tennis size balls.
Compact lightly to get the mixture to hold a ball shape.
Set aside.
Wrap each popcorn ball in plastic wrap.
Option: The balls can be drizzled with melted chocolate for gift giving.
I like to use white chocolate on the cranberry/ cashew ones.
After wrapping with plastic wrap, I tie with a burgandy colored ribbon.
