I ran across this today and think I'm going to try this for a fall treat. Haven't tried it yet, but it sounds wonderful! Came across it on www.popcorn.org. I kind of estimated and put the cooling time as the cooking time and everything else is preparation. Let me know if you find something more accurate.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own by roasting a pumpkin and pureeing it, or you can buy it canned.
  • If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • Be careful not to overcook the popcorn. It should be popped but still tender.
  • Try adding other spices to the popcorn, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
  • For a sweeter popcorn, add a little bit of brown sugar or maple syrup.
  • For a savory popcorn, add a little bit of salt or garlic powder.
  • Store the popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature.
