Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare Strawberry Powder: Place freeze-dried strawberries into a food processor and pulse until fine powder. Set aside.
Test the Oil: Heat coconut oil in a heavy-bottomed pot. Add 2-3 popcorn kernels; when they pop, oil is ready.
Pop the Corn: Add popcorn kernels, white sugar, and salt. Cover pot and shake gently to coat.
