Thanks for the great recipe! Edit: Later, I tried letting the sugar melt before adding the popcorn. I thought the sugar carmelized too much - it tasted burned instead of sweet. I'll add them at the same time from now on. This became a really fast hit in my family.
After making it a few times, though, I do have some suggestions. The last time I made it was the best. It made the kernels pop much faster lighter, and had a hint of a buttery taste. Very nice. I also, added a few drops of decorator's icing coloring to the melted shortening and sugar mixture. When the popcorn pops, it explodes into a really beautiful color. You can even mix two colors together[only two batches of popcorn is needed for that; ] Read More.
Rating: 4 stars. This was really good. It did take me a couple of tries to perfect the technique though. The first few times I made it I had a big gooey mess in the bottom of the pot. Make sure you start shaking as soon as the corn starts to pop and don't stop until it is done.
This is the best popcorn I've ever had. I first added three kernals until they popped then added the sugar to the oil and stirred it a bit so most of the sugar dissolves in the oil. Then I added the rest of the kernels. This is really easy to make and it absolutely taste great!!! All Reviews for Kettle Corn.

However, regular corn kernels do not pop like traditional popcorn or kettle corn. These kernels have been specially treated and grown to pop open when exposed to high heat. Cooking regular popcorn at home involves high heat, cooking oil, and a pot.
Usually seasoned with salt and butter, popcorn has become a staple of both movie theaters and mindless snacking on the couch. However, with kettle corn, the flavor profile changes from a savory snack to one with more sweet notes that you can alter and swap out for flavors that you want most. One of the most noticeable differences between air-popped and oil-popped is the character of the corn.
Popcorn is often considered a salty snack, popularly flavored with cheese or cinnamon, among other flavor profiles. The neutral taste of popcorn is always there, modified slightly by choice of seasoning. Kettlecorn has a dominantly sweet flavor, with just a hint of salt noticeable to the palate. Adding sugar to your mix during the cooking process is essential to crafting that perfect blend of sweet and savory taste. Read the disclosure policy.

Memory lane is nice and all, but it pales in comparison to the tastiness of this sweet and salty popcorn. Becuase, you guys , a whole batch of kettle corn could be yours in 10 minutes or less.

This next part is only a photo tutorial of the recipe steps. Step 1 — Using a pot suitable for stovetop popcorn see notes above , warm up some vegetable oil. Add popcorn and sugar, give it a quick toss to coat, and then cover the pot with a glass lid. Step 2 — Listen for the popcorn to pop. Once you hear the first one, set a timer for three to four minutes.
The key to kettle corn is continuously lifting the pot from the heat source, giving it a few good shakes, and then placing it back in the heat for five to ten seconds. When the popping starts to slow, remove the pot from heat. Step 3 — Quickly transfer the cooked kettle corn to a large bowl.
