my fruit stand find...





i was beyond curious when i saw a sign that said strawberry popcorn at a local fruit stand.


they were the most lovely shade of red and i begged the cashier to tell me more about them. she said the ear of corn they come from is shaped like a strawberry and they have the most beautiful red color. yes, indeed. so....


we took them home and put them in a pan with a shallow layer of olive oil. we turned the stove to high and let the oil heat up. we added some fresh minced garlic, salt and pepper and put a lid on it. at first i thought it was burning because the red kernels tend to get really dark. after it was done popping i couldn't resist some butter and parmesan cheese... it was beyond lovely, we were in love and i am off to find more to fill in glass jars and place around the kitchen...

I'm dying to know what this looks like when it is popped. Do share a picture! Did it have a different flavor than regular popcorn?
