    @@tylermitchell6191 they turned out great! I ended up using a bag of frozen fruit and some beets and kale I had frozen from my garden. From what I read, simmering will make them translucent and a little more flexible. I've also read that cornstarch will help stop cracking. But mine were totally fine without those additions. I'll be making these often, especially during the season.

    Great ideas, I especially love the cheese crackers. To avoid the popcorn burning, put 4 kernels in while the oil heats and once those pop, remove and put in the rest of the popcorn, cap the pan with a lid, and slide the pan back and forth a few times to coat all the kernels in oil. Then let them pop as you normally do.

    Ahhh, that popcorn method. I cry. ;) Place the oil in the saucepan with three to five kernels of corn, put the lid on and add to heat. Once the kernels have started popping, remove the lid and add the rest of the popcorn and put the lid back on. Place the pot away from the flame for thirty seconds, and then add back to the heat and cook while agitating the pan until only a few kernels are popping per second. What this does is heat the oil to the perfect temperature for popping (tested by the 3-5 kernels). When you then place the rest of the kernels in and give them 30 seconds in the oil away from heat, you are heating them with oil at the exact right temperature while also preventing burning. Placing them back on the heat source finishes the cooking process (and replaces heat lost in that 30 seconds away from flame). This produces perfect popcorn and very few burned kernels or leftover uncooked kernels.

    The reason you are never getting 100% poppage and some of your kernels are burning is that you are heating the oil with the kernels in it. You can get a much more consistent pop and make it much easier to avoid burning if you heat the oil to popping temperature first. Add 3 kernels to your oil, put it on the heat, when all 3 kernels have popped add the rest. The sudden heat rapidly expands the moisture in the kernel and makes it pop, where as if you heat the oil while the kernels are in it you'll get a lot more of those kernels that either half pop (because the pressure built too slowly and just tore the casing rather than pop it) or they just dry out and don't pop at all. This is what makes people burn their oil, because they see a bunch of unpopped kernels, think the popcorn needs longer and the oil starts to reach it's smoke point. I consistently get 100% poppage with no burning with this method. Also, you shouldn't use olive oil (don't know if that's what was used in the video, but it looks like it and it's worth mentioning). It has a much lower smoke point than vegetable so the window between good popcorn and horrible bitter smoked popcorn is narrower. And even if you don't burn the olive oil, your popcorn is going to taste like olive oil, which is not usually that desirable for savoury popcorn, and just worse for sweet. Also, I haven't tried your spice mix so maybe it doesn't need this, but adding knob of butter with your pan just as it finishes popping will give your mix something to stick to and give you a lot more flavour. It's usually less necessary for savoury (because you've probably got some kind of cheese in there), but is basically essential for sweet if you don't want your sugar to just sift to the bottom of the bowl.

    It’s hard to say with the fruit roll up though. You will just have to try it out and see what works best for you. It was a trial and error when made my own version awhile back. If it’s too thin and uneven it gets too crunchy, if it’s too thick it doesn’t get that leathery texture. But all still good and edible! I’ve made green apple fruit roll ups, It’s great once you figured it all out. Best

    Popcorn tips: Try using a splatter shield instead of a lid for popping the corn (they're like metal mesh sieves that you put over a wok or frying pan to stop oil from causing carnage over the kitchen... sometimes they're plastic or silicone... basically a vented shield to stop kernels from escaping but also allow steam to escape). That was a really long bracket thing! Basically, moisture content in the popcorn can cause it to turn chewy, venting it like this greatly helps to reduce that. Somewhat linked to the previous tip: If you want buttered or 'buttery' popcorn, using a non-dairy alternative, but you find that when you pour over melted 'butter', the popcorn dissolves and ends up mushy and depressingly disappointing, try heating up your 'butter' first. Butters and spreads like this contain a lot of water, this water, as mentioned previously, soaks into the starchy white crunchy stuff that makes popcorn so glorious, and it makes it glum. When you heat up your 'butter', whether you do it in a saucepan over a low to medium heat, or in a mug in a microwave, as I do (because I'm usually drunk when I have a popcorn craving, and it's usually ~3AM, as it is for me right now, as I type this), you'll notice an oily 'slick' on the top of the liquid. THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT!!! Take this very carefully with a teaspoon and discard the rest, then use this oily stuff to season your popcorn for that cinema 'buttered' experience! You might be alarmed at how little of this you get from a decent amount of 'butter' but for me, when I'm doing this, I've lost most of my cares for the evening. Another one: When using nooch, if it comes to you in flakes, as mine does, try grinding it with a mortar and pestle to form a powder, much better that way... and add a little coarse salt to help it grind, as well as a pinch of onion granules. Finally, have a look through your local store; many will stock 'instant' sauce mixes, such as casserole sauces, garlic sauces, shepherd's pie sauces and other such spice and sauce mixes which make life easier... try adding these to popcorn for another dimension in popcornery!!! If the mix contains chunky herb pieces, just grind them up with a mortar and pestle prior to adding them to the popcorn. I've had many pleasant surprises from store-bought powder sachets like this, it's well worth a go! Mustard powder (in great moderation) is a lovely addition, as is wasabi powder. Basically anything you can get as a powder, give it a try! But please... please don't put a lid on your popcorn as it pops... when I saw that, it was like taking a zester to my eyeballs, lol!
