Fox Point Popcorn

Ingredients:
1 cup popping corn
Fox Point seasoning
3 tbsp canola oil (or other high smoke-point oil)
1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional)

Really this recipie is nothing more than popcorn and your seasoning of choice, but after adding some Fox Point Seasoning (http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeysfoxpoint.html) to fresh popcorn. Fox Point Seasoning smells and tastes similar to Stove Top stuffing. It's delicious!

In heavy pan with lid, heat oil and butter on med-high heat. When butter is melted, add popcorn and place lid on pan. Keep on heat and give the pan a shake & swirl every 20-30 seconds until the corn starts popping. Keep listening so when is stops popping you can take the pan off the heat so it doesn't burn.

Pour popcorn into bowl, trying to keep out any unpopped kernels that will probably be at the bottom. Now shake in your Fox Point Seasoning to taste and enjoy! (I suppose you could add some Fox Point to the the oil so it gets on the kernels as they pop.)
