Recipe | Cinnamon Popcorn

Iona Bower September 26, 2020

In our October issue we have a special ‘Crafternoon’ Gathering feature, with ideas for making an autumnal wreath and a few delicious snacks to fuel your creativity. We think this cinnamon popcorn would be just as good with a Saturday night movie, too. Here’s how to make it…

Makes 1 large bowl

100g popping corn kernels
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp cinnamon

1 Pop your kernels using your preferred method (popcorn machine, microwave or hob).
2 Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan on the hob, then stir in the maple syrup and cinnamon.
3 Pour the warm liquid over the popcorn, season to taste with salt and stir until thoroughly coated.

You can find this and the rest of the recipes by Kay Prestney and photographed by Cathy Pyle in our October issue on page 8, including Cranberry and Camembert Puffs, Rosemary and Orange Mocktails , Smoked Trout Dip, Spinach Twists and Chocolate Brownies. There are also instructions on how to make your autumnal wreath.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
