Directions
Heat a large pot and add the oil. When it is hot, add the popcorn. Here it is important to turn on the extractor fan or open a window because the popped corn gives off a little smoke.
When the corn begins to pop, stir to heat evenly. Once the popping stops, after approximately 5 minutes, remove from the heat. It is essential not to leave it longer as it could burn and ruin all the flavor.
In another saucepan, heat the water and sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until a liquid caramel is formed. Here we must be very careful so that it does not burn or crystallize, it must have a smooth and thick consistency.
If we decide to use food coloring, we add it to the caramel and mix well.
Finally, pour the caramel over the popcorn, stirring well to ensure that all the popcorn is completely covered.
And that's it, we have our delicious homemade sweet popcorn. A suggestion is to serve it immediately while they are still hot so that the caramel does not harden.
