Zubereitung von Mary's Popcorn Balls

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer (firm-ball stage). This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and carefully stir in 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the hot syrup mixture over 4 quarts (about 10 cups) of popped popcorn in a large bowl, stirring gently but thoroughly to ensure all popcorn is coated.
Grease your hands with butter or cooking spray. Quickly shape the popcorn mixture into balls before it cools completely.
Place popcorn balls on wax paper to cool and set completely.
