3 Campfire Popcorn: Old-School Popping Fun
Making popcorn over a campfire is not only tasty, but it’s also a fun experience that takes you back to the basics.
What You’ll Need:
- Popcorn kernels
- Oil (canola or vegetable)
- Salt to taste
- Aluminium foil or a popcorn popper designed for campfires
How to Make It:
- If using aluminium foil, make a pouch with enough room for the popcorn to pop. Add a tablespoon of oil and a small handful of kernels to the pouch, then seal it tightly.
- If using a popcorn popper, add the oil and kernels directly to the popper.
- Hold the pouch or popper over the campfire, shaking it gently until you hear the kernels popping. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the popping slows down, remove from the fire and carefully open. Season with salt and enjoy!
