Pop the corn and remove all unpopped kernels. Put popcorn in a large roasting pan; keep warm in a 300 degree oven. Butter the sides of a 2 quart saucepan. In it, combine sugar, water, corn syrup, vinegar, and salt. Cook to 270 degrees (soft crack stage), stirring frequently. Mixture should gently boil over the entire surface. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla. Slowly pour mixture over hot popcorn. Stir just until mixed. Butter hands (the more hands the better because it sets quickly) and scoop up popcorn. Shape into 2 ½ to 3 inch balls.
