So, the last few weeks, Andrew and I have been on a major kettle corn kick. Andrew has perfected the recipe and technique, so I thought I would share it with you.
The recipe is as follows:
1/2 cup un-popped pop corn
Vegetable oil - enough to barely cover the pop corn (see picture below)
1/4 cup sugar
Salt - to taste
First, you will need a large pot with a tight fitting lid.
Pour the popcorn into the pan.
Pour in enough oil until the popcorn is barely covered and then stir.
Turn stove on high heat and wait to hear the oil sizzle.
Once the oil starts to sizzle, pour sugar in, and stir very well, to coat all kernels with sugar.
Spread out all of the kernels, so there is a single layer on the bottom of them pan.
Now just wait for the pop.
After the pop corn has started popping, give the pot a good shake. Continue to shake every 20-30 seconds.
Once the popping has slowed down (about 2-3 seconds between pops) remove from heat.
Stir the popcorn.
Add salt to taste and continue stirring.
Pour into a bowl and enjoy!!
We have tried different brands of popcorn and so far, the yellow corn seems to pop up the best. We are in search of the popcorn that will give us the biggest popped kernel. If you know where we could get some, please let us know.
Please let me know if you try making it, and how it turns out. Happy Popping!

I will try your recipe tonight. I like to use Orville Redenbacher popcorn. It costs a little more but the kernels pop the biggest with very few "old maids". Dad
