Sugared Popcorn
Put in an iron kettle 1 tablespoonful butter, 3 tablespoonfuls water, and 1 cupful sugar; boil until it candies, then throw in 3 quarts of nicely popped corn, and stir briskly until the candy is evenly distributed. Set the kettle from the fire, and continue stirring until it is partly cooled, and each grain is separate and crystallized with the sugar.
