Homemade Kettle Corn Recipe
Many people have fond memories of the fair from their childhood and one of the best memories is usually of eating kettle corn. However, it can be hard to find if you are not at a fair so we developed this kettle corn recipe so you can easily make it yourself at home whenever you want.
Kettle corn is a great sweet and salty popcorn treat that is very easy to make yourself. Making it at home also allows you to tweak the amount of sugar and salt that goes into it to suit your own taste.
If you have ever made normal popcorn at home in a pot then making kettle corn will be a breeze. You simply add sugar to the pot when you add the popcorn. The sugar cooks, lightly caramelizes and coats the popcorn while it pops.

Prep time: 5 Minutes
Cooking Time: 10 Minutes
Makes: 4 Quarts
1/4 cup oil, usually canola or vegetable
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Place the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 3 kernels to the oil. Once the three kernels pop add the remaining ingredients and quickly stir together. Place a lid on top of the pot.
Shake the pot every few seconds to prevent the sugar from sticking to the pot and burning. As soon as the kettle corn is done popping pour it out into a large bowl. The sugar mixture can get very hot so be very careful when you pour it out, sugar burns are no fun at all.
Break up any large clumps with a spoon and let the kettle corn cool slightly. Taste the kettle corn for seasonings and add more salt if needed.
Now you know how to make kettle corn at home!
