Homemade Kettle Corn

Kettle corn is not for everyone. I bought a bag of 'Kettle Corn' at an air show we went to a few years back. It was awesome. Sweet & salty all at the same time. I was hooked. I bought Kettle Corn in the store and it just wasn't the same. So one day I searched the internet and found several recipes. I tried a few before I finally got the one that hit the spot. It's simple to make and yummy to eat while watching a late night movie! A good 'Whirly Pop' is all you need to make some wonderful tasty corn!

Homemade Kettle Corn

1/2 cup popcorn kernels (I use yellow corn)
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup sugar
salt to taste
A large bowl
Whirly pop or large pan w/ lid

Start heating pan on medium heat. Add your oil, let it warm up a bit then add the kernels & sugar. Give it a stir so the sugar mixes with the kernels. Close lid and continue stirring. Once the corn starts popping keep stirring and remove from heat when popping slows. It will burn easily with all that sugar in there!

Once popping is complete poor into your large bowl. The bigger the bowl the better. Sprinkle with salt and stir. Let cool for a few minutes then break popcorn apart. It might stick together in small clumps. Serve with a cold drink and a good movie. None of that scary nonsense!
