Ingredients:

9 cups popped corn
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup honey
½ cup fruit gelatin (any flavor) 0r Jello (1 3 oz box, any flavor)
½ tsp real salt
3 qt. cooking pot
Large bowl

Directions:

Gather all ingredients and supplies together.

Pop the unpopped kernels. Over high heat, pour enough oil into the saucepot to cover the bottom of the pan and be about 1/4 inches deep. Place three kernels into the pan and then cover. Once the three kernels have popped, add the remaining kernels. Listen closely to the pan. Once you hear the popping slow substantially, the popcorn is done. Remove from the burner and pour the popped corn into your bowl.

Season the popcorn with real salt.

Combine granulated sugar, honey and gelatin in a heavy saucepan. Stir slightly and bring to a full rolling boil over medium high heat.

Remove gelatine mixture from stove top and pour over popped corn. Blend well, until all of the popcorn is coated. Allow to cool a few minutes before shaping into popcorn balls.

Shape popcorn into balls using lightly oiled hands, or leave as fruity popcorn as is.

To make a topiary, pierce with a bamboo skewer and tie a ribbon at the base of the ball. You may insert them into other popcorn balls or brownie-cupcakes for a stand-alone topiary -- or just enjoy a popcorn ball on a stick!
