Kettle Corn
Our middle daughter loves Kettle Corn and always wants us to get some when we're at a fair or festival. Here's a recipe to try at home that is pretty yummy and very easy. We use a Whirley Pop Cooker, but you may use a large kettle with a lid as well, shaking often.

Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Coconut Popping Oil butter flavored
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon Flavacol Popcorn Salt more or less, to taste
- 1/2 cup Amish Popcorn blue or purple
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter. Have ready a large serving bowl to place popcorn in when it is done cooking.
- In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 3/4 teaspoon Flavacol Popcorn Salt, and 1/2 cup Amish Popcorn.
- Add 3 tablespoons Coconut Popping Oil (butter-flavored) to the kettle.
- Heat Whirly Pop on medium-high flame and add 3 popcorn kernels to test for the right temperature. When the kernels pop, quickly add the sugar and popcorn mixture to the pan.
- Close the lid and start turning the handle until kernels are nearly done popping.
- Transfer popcorn to a large serving bowl. Taste first, and sprinkle with more salt if desired. Serves 2-4.
This coconut oil is solid and will melt over heat.
I like to let it go for 5-8 seconds without hearing any popping. This cooking process may take up to 3 minutes.
