POPCORN BALLS

My grandmother would make these for us when we were growing up. Thanks for the nice memories.

My grandmother always made her popcorn balls will molasses. Still never had them any other way. I remember the first time I saw them made with syrup I thought why aren't they brown? lol

im 44 yrs old and ive just moved out of state from my family, im new to this site and i go to the dessert section and here is this recipe for popcorn balls and i find myself crying cuz it makes me miss my mom even more, but i do know when i go back for the hilidays we will b trying this...my kids, my mom and myself love to make these together and of course love to eat them!!!!

Gosh I debated a long time about this one. I thought no one would want it. You guys have made my day. Thank you so much.

Vivian, it comes across you're a Southern Lady....I'm from Alabama, 50 miles north of Birmingham. I think we have some of the same taste in foods. I have pecan trees and I have picked up about 30 pounds in the last 3-4 days. The wind blew real hard and down they came. My sister in law has paper shell, 3 trees, So, guess I'll pick up some of hers. I also picked up a 5 gallon bucket of Black Walnuts. My sister has a tree but she's having it cut down, too close to her house. Sure makes a good cake. Cheers !! JJ

Jewell, You can't beat a black walnut cake. Just wish I didn't like something so hard to shell. We're glad to have you here and love your recipes. I'm going to get some more of our good old Southern goodies posted soon. I live in central Arkansas about 20 miles from the capital. Retired RN and married to a wonderfull man who has retired four times but can't quite give it up. Looking for some new goodies for Thanksgiving. Everyone will be here this year. Vivian

Hey Vivian, I have the 5 gallon bucket of Black Walnuts on the carport drying. When the outside comes off I saw where a person had laid heavy plastic over thick card board and taped it down. Then they got a big clean rock and a hammer and began cracking walnuts. They would then gather them up into a container so they could be picked out in a more comfortable location. I prefer The recliner in front of the fire place...Jewel

sounds good to me. (smile)

Tonight I am tempted to turn the fire place on..I love warm weather !!
