Homemade Kettle Corn

Image
By
3 Tbs. canola oil
3 to 4 Tbs. sugar
1/3 to 1/2 cup popcorn
Salt

Heat oil in large pot with handles until oil is really hot, almost smoking.  While oil heats up, combine popcorn and sugar in a bowl.  When oil is hot enough, add sugar & popcorn, and stir around in pot to make sure sugar doesn't clump.  If your heat is on high, you might want to turn it down just a little to prevent burning.  Place lid on pot and slide pot back and forth over burner quickly to help unpopped popcorn kernels reach the bottom and also to prevent sugar from burning to the bottom.  As soon as popping slows down, remove pot from heat and take off the lid.  Add salt as you stir popcorn, and dump the popcorn into serving bowl ASAP to get it out of the hot pot.  Every stove is different, so don't get discouraged if you burn the first couple of batches!  Just play with the temperatures a bit, and you'll figure it out.  I've had several people tell me this is the best popcorn they've ever had, so try it!

Place all ingredients in large pot, and simmer for 15 min. Serve with sour cream, g...
