From "The New Doubleday Cookbook" by Jean Anderson.
Place sugar, corn syrup and vinegar in a heavy saucepan.
Insert candy thermometer and heat and stir over moderately high heat until sugar dissolves.
Cook, uncovered, without stirring to 260F. or until a drop of syrup forms a hard ball in cold water.
Remove from the heat, mix in butter and vanilla. Pour over popcorn in a large bowl and stir quickly so all pieces are coated.
With buttered hands, scoop up and shape into large or small balls.
Cool on waved paper or plastic food wrap.
