County Fair Kettle Korn

Don't you just love that kettle cooked popcorn available at county fairs? it's sweet; it's salty; it's deliciously crunchy. It's usually pretty expensive too! This is a great, super easy recipe to make it yourself - just like you enjoy at the fair - with only 3 ingredients! i ran across a similar recipe years ago online and tweaked it a bit... In other words, perfected it. i hope you enjoy!!

Steps

You will need a large cooking pot.

It should have a wide opening and be slightly shallow make sure you have a lid that fits !.

Place 2 / 3 cup popcorn inside pot.

The pot will be the perfect size if the popcorn just barely covers the entire bottom of the pot in one layer.

Stir in 1 / 3 cup oil of your choice and cover with the lid.

Heat over range , giving the pot a good shake every 60 seconds or so , until you hear the first kernel pop.

Carefully uncover and add the 1 / 4 cup white sugar , stir and re-cover with the lid.

Shake the pot every 20-30 seconds until popping slows to 2-3 pops every few seconds.

Remove from heat and dump into large mixing bowl.

While hot and sticky , salt to taste , stirring well.

Enjoy !.
