One of my most favorite things about the holidays is (of course) the food. There is something about certain smells and tastes that just are "home" to me. Every Christmas morning, we would have a sausage casserole and German pancakes- so every time I smell these things- I think of being home and I think of my family. One of my favorite holiday "tastes" is my Grandma Newren's popcorn balls. I'm not sure that they are technically caramel... maybe candied is a better word for the coating on the popcorn. Anyway- it's yummy. Since we didn't make it home for Christmas this year, when we did make it down to my mom's- she surprised me with a big bag of popcorn and all the makings for Grandma's popcorn.
I've made it before with my Grandma, and it's not that it's hard- but it definitely takes two people to make it. So- my mom and I got to work. The finished product was just the taste that I had been missing so far this season! Thanks mom! And thanks to Ty for helping us smash the pecans!
