Kettle CornIngredients (use vegan versions): 2/3 cup popcorn kernels
1/2 cup oil (I use Canola)
1/3 to 1/2 cup organic sugar
lots of salt (to taste)
Directions:Heat oil in a soup-sized pot on medium. Add kernels. When the first kernel pops, add sugar and stir. Put the top on the pot and turn down the heat. Shake constantly. Alternate - shake, heat, shake, heat. There is a bit of a science to this since you want to pop the corn without burning the sugar (I am still figuring this out). When its done, liberally shake on some salt. Warning: very hot.
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 20 min
this was GREAT! you don't need quite so much oil though. i used just enough to coat the bottom of the pan, and imho the more sugar and salt the better!

I had no idea it was that easy to make. Thanks for posting this fairground favorite.

I liked this recipe, although I thought 1/2 cup sugar was too much. My kettle corn ended up having somewhat of a sugary shell, more like caramel corn. I will keep working on it though. I'm so glad I know how to make this at home now!
