Pop corn!

Homemade popcorn is the best! Buy a bag of kernals and you have a healthy-quick snack for the family, guests or kids.

KETTLE CORN
Place a large 5qt pot on the stove over medium heat.
Add 1/4 cup oil (I use olive or grapeseed and it doesn't change the taste)
Place 3 kernals in the oil. Once they pop the oil is heated to the correct temp.
Pour in 1/2 cup kernals and 1/4 cup sugar. Constantly mix with wooden spoon until the popcorn begins to pop. Place lid on top leaving place for steam to come out.
Allow to pop until the popping slows down about 1 per second. Immediately take off heat.

Pour popcorn onto baking sheet and immediately place the pan in the sink and fill with water and soap.
Separate the popcorn with a fork and sprinkle with salt.
Store in airtight container.
