Grandpa's Popcorn Balls were the best! Who knew they had a secret ingredient of vinegar??

I learned as a kid to pop popcorn in a large sauce pan 1/2 cup at a time with just enough crisco to halfway cover the kernals and about 1 tsp of butter. It's an art.

A fine hair is when you stick a fork into the boiling mixture then remove it and a 4" or longer wispy hair forms where it drips off the fork.
