Kettle Corn

From www.instructables.com

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup unpopped popcorn
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Utensils needed:

• One or two quart sauce pan
• Large bowl

Put the popcorn in the pot. There should be just enough to cover the bottom in a single layer. Next pour in the olive oil. There should only be enough to barely cover all of the popcorn. Then turn the stove on to medium heat.

 After it has heated up a bit, the oil will start to bubble and the popcorn will begin to swell (this will take about 2-3 minutes). As soon as a couple of kernels pop, sprinkle the sugar on top of the popcorn and place the lid on the pot.

 Shake the pot constantly. Once you add the sugar, the popcorn will stop popping. It will take it about 30 seconds to 1 minute to start popping again. The popping will get very rapid and then begin to slow. Once it slows to once every couple of seconds you will remove the pot from the heat and dump it into your bowl.

Let the popcorn cool for 3 or 4 minutes. Break up the clumps of popcorn and sprinkle the salt over it.
