homemade kettle corn

we love kettle corn around here. i know many people who do not. well then, this post is not for you. i got this recipe from allrecipes.com.

ingredients:

1/4 C oil
1/4 C sugar (brown will give you a caramel-ish flavor or white will give you a less strong, sweet flavor)
1/2 C popcorn
salt to taste

directions:

put on the oil on medium-high in a heavy-bottomed, large pot. throw three kernels in there. when all three of the kernels pop, the oil is ready. quickly stir in the sugar and then the popcorn and put the lid on. let the pot sit on the heat for 3 seconds, then lift it off and shake for 3 seconds (this will keep the sugar from burning). alternate sit/shake until the popping starts to slow down. pull off the heat and sprinkle with desired amount of salt and shake vigorously. pour into a large bowl and stir periodically until it cools to prevent clumping. add more salt if necessary. enjoy!
