Sugar Free Kettle Corn Recipes

SUGAR-FREE KETTLE CORN

Steps:

• Put oil in large pan (or stirring style popper) with 3-4 kernels. Cover with a lid.
• Shake the pan back and forth a few times (or stir the popcorn with the popper's crank handle) to combine.
• When the first kernel pops, put the rest of the ingredients (sweetener and salt and the remainder of the popcorn) in the pan / popper.
• Shake the pan (or turn the crank handle) continuously until the popping stops.
• Put the popcorn in large (non plastic) bowl and let cool.
• In the unlikely event that there is leftover kettle corn, store in an airtight container.

HOW TO MAKE SUGAR FREE KETTLE CORN

Steps:

• In a large pot set on medium heat, place your oil along with two kernels of the popcorn. Caution: Be sure to wear protective covering as when the popcorn kernels pop, it will most likely pop out of the pot.
• When the two popcorn kernels pop, add your remaining kernels, sugar alternative and salt to the pot.
• Cover the pot with a lid and give it a quick shake from side to side.
• While the popcorn is heating up, make sure that you have a large bowl nearby as you will quickly need to pour the popcorn into it. also, you will need to use pot holders or mitts as you shake the popcorn and move the pot.
• Shake your popcorn pot from side to side every minute and a half to two minutes. Once it starts to pop consistently and sounds like the pot is half full, you can remove the pot from the heat or turn the heat off.
• Continue to shake the pot back and forth to avoid burning the popcorn.
• When the popcorn reaches the top of the pot, use a pot holder to remove the lid- do not stand over the pot as the popcorn will still be popping most likely. As a result of removing the lid, the popping kernel can jump out of the pot.
• Dump the popcorn into the large bowl. Remember, the pot will be hot so take precautions.

KETTLE CORN

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, stir in the sugar and popcorn. Cover, and shake the pot constantly to keep the sugar from burning. Once the popping has slowed to once every 2 to 3 seconds, remove the pot from the heat and continue to shake for a few minutes until the popping has stopped. Pour into a large bowl, and allow to cool, stirring occasionally to break up large clumps.

DIY MICROWAVE KETTLE CORN

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a brown paper lunch bag. Fold down the top 3 times and microwave on high for 1:30-1:45 seconds. You can add more cook time in 15 increments if necessary, but be sure to keep a close eye on the maple sugar as it will start to burn if it gets too hot.
• Once the bag is removed from the microwave give it a good shake, flip it over so that all of the melted sugars from the bottom of the bag drizzle down over the popped kernels, then serve.

CINNAMON SUGAR KETTLE CORN

Steps:

• Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl; set aside.
• In a large pot with a lid, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking. Add popcorn kernels and cover. When kernels begin popping, carefully lift lid and sprinkle in confectioner's sugar. Replace lid and continue cooking, shaking pot frequently, until popping begins to slow. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Replace lid and continue shaking pot until popping has almost stopped (be careful not to burn). Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.
