I love the sweet-salty-crunchy of kettle corn and have wanted to try making it for some time. When I came upon this recipe in a magazine I couldn't resist. It didn't turn out quite as sweet as I hoped for but it's spicy and tasty.
1/2 c. popcorn
2 Tbsp canola oil
4 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp Chinese 5 Spice powder
1 tsp salt
In a large pot with a tight fitting lid over medium heat combine popcorn the ingredients. Shake constantly. Once the popcorn begins to pop, turn the heat down to medium low. Continue to shake until popping slows down. Leave it with the lid on until the popping stops. Drizzle with melted butter.
I have been a hot-air popcorn popper for several years, so I was nervous about making popcorn on the stove again for the first time since I was a kid. It turned out quite well. The exciting thing is that you could use any spice or spice blend you wanted. Imagine using chipotle chili powder. Or curry. oooo the possibilities are endless
