JAMIE'S SPICED SUGAR AND CHRISTMAS POPCORN RECIPE
This Jamie Oliver sugar mix really does smell like Christmas (although you are not limited to eating it only at Christmas!). The sugar recipe makes loads, (but is easily halved) and it keeps in an airtight container for absolutely ages and can be used on a variety of things (to sweeten whipped cream, on porridge, on fruit--you name it...), so it's well worth doing a full batch. I don't usually do sweet popcorn, but I like this one!

Steps:
- SPICED SUGAR:.
- Put all of the sugar ingredients, except the sugar into a food processor and whiz until well blended and fine. Add the sugar and whiz again to combine everything together.
- Spread the sugar out on a tray to dry out for a couple of hours before using, as it will be slightly moist at this stage.
- Once dry, sieve the sugar to catch any large pieces and discard them. Keep the sugar in an airtight container. It will keep for ages!
- POPCORN:.
- Put the oil and butter into a pan on high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the popcorn and stir well to coat. Cover and leave to pop, shaking occasionally.
- Put the sugar into a large bowl and when the popcorn is ready, add it to the bowl, tossing quickly to coat it with the sugar.
Tips:
- Use fresh popcorn kernels. Fresh kernels will pop better and have a better flavor than old kernels.
- Heat the oil over medium heat. If the oil is too hot, the popcorn will burn. If the oil is not hot enough, the popcorn will not pop.
- Add the popcorn kernels to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan. The kernels should be in a single layer.
- Cover the pan and shake it frequently. This will help to ensure that the popcorn pops evenly.
- Remove the pan from the heat when the popping stops. Do not overcook the popcorn, or it will become tough.
- Season the popcorn to taste. You can add salt, butter, sugar, or other seasonings to your popcorn.
- Enjoy your popcorn! Popcorn is a delicious and festive snack that is perfect for any occasion.
