KETTLE CORN

KETTLE CORN 1/2 cup popcorn kernels, unpopped 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup white sugar, 4 tbsp 1/2 tsp salt, optional Prepare your ingredients and set aside a medium-large size pot with a tight-fitting lid. Place the pot over medium-high heat and add the oil along with 2-3 popcorn kernels. As soon as the kernels pop, add the rest of the kernels, the sugar and optional salt. Cover the pot and shake continuously until the kernels start popping again. Reduce heat to medium. Let the popping continue over 2-3 minutes with a shake every 20-30 seconds. Remove from heat once there's only a pop every few seconds. Empty the popcorn into the bowl to cool for a minute stirring occasionally. Serve and enjoy! Notes You can use less sugar if desired with 1/4 cup working fine in this recipe.
