How to Make

  • Step 1: Pop the popcorn on the stove or skillet. DO NOT air pop.

  • Step 2: Pour into a large bowl that you can seal and let the popcorn cool.

  • Step 3: Add pineapple, raisins, almonds, and sunflower seeds to popcorn. Stir thoroughly.

  • Step 4: While popcorn is cooling, melt butter and mix in brown sugar and cinnamon to taste.

  • Step 5: Boil for 1 minute only. Remove from heat and add flax seed and vanilla; mix well.

  • Step 6: Pour over the popcorn mixture and use a rubber spatula to mix from the bottom up, like folding in ingredients. The seeds tend to fall to the bottom. Let dry and enjoy. Makes a big bowl.
