+Recipe can be expanded or contracted to your needs. I personally divide the recipe in half to fit my 2 quart saucepan (recipe calls for a 3 quart). I recommend using Orville Redenbacher's popcorn kernels, as they are specifically formulated to pop consistently. Follow these directions precisely, and I will guarantee you will have no burnt or unpopped kernels.

+## Ingredients
+
+- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or oil of your choice
+- 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels
+- 2 tablespoons of sugar (brown sugar works too)
+- salt to taste
+
+## Directions
+
+1. Add oil into your saucepan and 3 popcorn kernels.
+2. Cover with lid and set stove to medium-high heat.
+3. Once all 3 kernels pop, add in the rest of your kernels and shake to coat in oil. Pour sugar directly onto the kernels.
+4. Shake the pot for 3 seconds, rest for 3 seconds, and repeat till the kernels start to pop steadily. Depending on your stove, you may need to lift the pot to shake.
+5. Once kernels start popping, shake pot every 1-2 seconds.
+6. **Important**. Once you no longer hear pops for about 3 seconds, immediately transfer into a bowl to avoid burning.

 This recipe is known by Italian-Americans as "Sunday Gravy", which originated from the Southern Italian dish Ragu Napoletano. This is my variation of my family's version which was passed down 3 generations to me.

 2. For fresh tomatoes, wash and cut out off the green stems of the tomatoes and cut them into a few chunks and lightly salt them over a collander or strainer so they release water and break down quicker
 3. For canned tomatoes, use your hands to crush the peeled tomatoes (don't use a food processor)
 4. In a large stock pot cook down the tomatoes for approximately 30 mins then use a food mill or strainer to remove the skins and seeds to yield tomato sauce (this can be done beforehand and frozen / canned for months)
