Kettle Corn Popcorn
"This is the best kettle corn recipe I've tried. I make it in a Whirleypop stove top popcorn popper. You can use a 6 to 8 quart covered saucepan but make sure to stir it constantly or the kernels will burn.
I use coconut oil but you can use canola or corn oil instead. I use brown sugar to give the popcorn a caramel taste but you could use white sugar as well. It will have a more neutral flavor."

ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup popcorn
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1⁄3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1⁄4 cup butter, melted
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
directions
- Put popcorn and oil in a stove top popcorn popper over medium heat. When oil is hot and corn begins to sizzle, add sugar. Stir or shake constantly to avoid burning the sugar. When popping slows to once every 2 or 3 seconds remove from heat and pour popcorn into a large bowl.
- Mix vanilla extract into the melted butter and drizzle over popped popcorn. Toss popcorn well to distribute the butter evenly. Allow popcorn to cool for 3 to 4 minutes to crisp up.

I am married and a father of 2. I love to hunt, fish, trap, hike, rock climb, camp, garden and cook. By trade I am a welder, but I also make knives and am a semi-professional blacksmith.
My family and I live on a self-sustainable homestead. We raise a big garden of heirloom vegetables. I collect antique varieties of apple, pear, plum, quince, cherry, mulberry and grapes. We raise meat rabbits, chickens for meat and eggs and we raise 2 breeds of pigs.
I make my own beer, cider, perry and wine. I also have a medicinal garden from which I make a lot of herbal remedies. I use organic, self sufficient practices with everything I raise to eat and plan on teaching this to my kids as they grow up.
