Kettle Corn

One of the best reasons I know of for going to Silver Dollar City is to pick up some of their fresh Kettle Corn. I do not have a big kettle to make mine in, but I have experimented with my popcorn popper & have come up with an acceptable alternative. I have the old fashioned kind that has a handle attached to the lid. When you turn the handle it stirs the popcorn continually to keep it from burning. I highly recommend it. I have experimented with the amounts & have found that equal amounts of oil, popcorn & sugar work the best. It will burn easily, so once it starts popping, you have to turn the handle continually until popcorn is all popped.

For a 6 quart popper, I use:

1/3 C. popcorn, 1/3 C. oil, & 1/3 C. of sugar.
