Homemade Kettle Corn
- 13 cups Vegetable Oil
- 1 cup Yellow Popcorn Kernels (unpopped)
- 13 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt To Taste
- Place a large Dutch oven (make sure you have a lid) over medium high heat on your stove top.
- Add oil and allow to heat for about 1 minute.
- Place 2-3 kernels into the pot and wait until they pop (yes, they will probably pop out of the pot).
- Add the remaining kernels and place lid on pot.
- Wait until you hear a few other kernels pop, then with oven mitts pick up pot and shake.
- Continue to shake for about 30 seconds every minute of cooking (place back on the burner for the remainder of the time).
- After the first minute, carefully lift one side of the lid and sprinkle in the sugar.
- Replace the lid and continue cooking and shaking (yes it is a good shoulder and bicep workout) for about 4-5 minutes, until the span of time between pops lengthens to about 5 seconds.
- Remove from heat.
- Wait until all popping has finished, then remove the lid.
- Sprinkle lightly with salt (to taste), then mix and place into a large serving bowl or individual serving bowls.
- Now close your eyes and picture the Ferris wheel.
- Unless it makes you sick.
- Then just picture something else.
