good popcorn... with no salt!

That's my microwave popcorn popper.  I love it, because it lets me pop popcorn with no oil.  The bowl beside it contains the flavorings I'll pour over it before it goes in the oven.  Here's the recipe for Cliff's new favorite snack.

                                      SWEET AND SPICY POPCORN

Pam cooking spray

6 cups of popped popcorn, using no oil

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons water

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon ground ginger

Spray a cold 13x9x2-inch baking pan with Pam. Place popcorn in the baking pan.

In a small mixing bowl stir together sugar, spices and water. Add spice mixture to popcorn in pan. Toss till coated. Bake in 350 degree oven for 15 minutes, stirring once or twice.

Transfer popcorn from pan to a large piece of foil. Cool popcorn completely. Store in tightly covered container (or put individual portions in baggies, like I do).

Cliff likes to eat a bag of this (1/4 of the recipe, 105 calories) while munching an apple.
