Orange and popcorn? Sure, why not! Another citrus fruit lends its tangy flavor to popcorn balls with the use of orange marmalade.

Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups sugar
1-1/4 cups water
1 cup orange marmalade
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vinegar
5 quarts popped popcorn

Combine sugar, water, marmalade, salt, light corn syrup and vinegar in a saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.

Cook to hard-ball stage (250 degrees). Pour slowly over popped popcorn and mix thoroughly.

Butter hands and shape into 2-1/2-inch balls.

Recipe yields 15 Orange Popcorn Balls.
