THINGS MOTHER USED TO MAKE

Pop Corn Balls (very old recipe)

1 Cupful of Molasses Piece of Butter, half the
size of an Egg

Boil together until it strings and then stir in a pinch of soda. Put this over a quart dish full of popped corn. When cool enough to handle squeeze into balls the size of an orange.
