Instructions
Instructions for Orange-flavored Kettle Corn:
Prepare a cooling space by laying parchment paper on a counter top to spread the kettle corn.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the orange zest, sugar, and salt. Mix well with a dining fork to fully combine.
Preferred Method: Using a Whirly Pop Popcorn Popper, add the oil and 3-4 kernels of popping corn over medium heat.
When test kernels have popped, add the ½ cup of popping corn to the popper. Pour the sugar-zest mixture over the kernels, close the top and begin cranking the handle immediately. Within a few minutes the kernels will begin to pop and fill the popper.
Remove the popper from the heat, carefully pour the kettle corn from the popper onto the parchment paper. Spread to a single layer for cooling.
