Hello Steemit family, it's the weekend and I was craving a snack. I couldn't go out to get what I wanted so I decided to make it at home with the ingredients available. So guess what I'm making? Strawberry popcorn.....And I'm excited to share with you. A sweet snack children love and could be served at children parties.

Here are my Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels or to the the quantity you desire.

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar or to the quantity you desire.

• 1/4 cup light corn syrup.

• 1/4 cup strawberry puree or the quantity you desire to enable the deep colouring.

• 1 tablespoon strawberry extract (optional)

• A cup of groundnut oil or butter.

• 1/4 Liquid milk and exotic flavour.

• Enough powdered milk (reason I said that is because Milk is the aftermath of the product to make it milky.

• The popcorn machine. In this making, I used the manual equipment.

Now let's pop

Instructions:

1. I put my butter and little groundnut oil with sugar and popped my corn kernels on high heat using my manual machine and set aside.

2. In a medium saucepan, I combine sugar, corn syrup, and strawberry puree and placed over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

3. I made sure my mixture was boiled, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until slightly thickened.

4. I removed from heat and stir in strawberry extract/puree.

5. I spread my strawberry mixture over the popped popcorn and stir until it was evenly coated.

6. Finally I poured the popcorn in a big bowl and allowed to cool.

7. I allowed to cool and harden completely about 10 minutes and garnished it with enough powdered milk to add extra taste

Extra Tips:

• For a more intense strawberry flavor, use strawberry extract or add a few drops of strawberry flavoring.

• Experiment with different types of sugar, like brown sugar or turbinado sugar, for a unique flavor.

• Add a sprinkle of edible glitter or red food coloring for a festive touch.

Enjoy your sweet and fruity strawberry popcorn and tell me when you'll try making this tasty snack.
