Before I get caught up on the rest of my Puerto Rico trip, I thought I’d entertain you with a delicious, fun little recipe… especially for those of you who could not make the bread recipe (*ahem* MC and Jeff) due to lack of equipment, here is an easy crowd pleaser…as long as you have a large pot. You can even add nuts to it if you are a nutty kind of person. Delicious to snack on in front of the boob tube or with a good book!
Homemade Kettle Corn
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup fresh popcorn kernels (they do get stale, so buy a new container if your current one is from the twentieth century)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Put the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot and place over high heat for 1 minute. Add 1 popcorn kernel and put the lid on. Wait for the kernel to pop (while you're waiting, measure the other ingredients into a bowl so you can pour them in all at once).
- When the kernel pops, quickly pour in all the other ingredients, put the lid back on, and shake the pan vigorously. Reduce the heat to medium-high and shake often, cracking the lid every ten seconds or so to let steam escape.
- When the popping slows to one per second, take the pan off the heat and leave the lid slightly ajar until the popping stops. Take the lid off carefully (it may have a lot of condensation on the underside) and pour the kettle corn into a bowl.
ENJOY and let me know how it turns out! ~ ‘B’idney and Di
