Kettle Corn

A perfect summer snack...sweet, salty, and crunchy! 
I often make this treat when we are heading to the beach or pool! 


1/4 cup of oil
1/2 corn kernels
1/4 cup sugar
Salt, to taste

In a large pot with a lid, heat oil and corn kernels over medium heat. After the first kernel pops, add sugar to pot and put lid back on. Shake pot constantly to prevent sugar from burning. Cook until popping stops. Quickly and carefully, pour into a large bowl and add popcorn or sea salt.
