Keys To A Perfect Vinaigrette 

3:1 Oil:Vinegar
Local Vinegar (We like Raw Apple Cider Vinegar, but here's a stop for local artisan vinegars of may stripes)
Fresh Herbs
Salt & Pepper

For Perfect Popcorn

Get a big, heavy-bottomed pot, set it on medium-low heat.

Pour in a few tablespoons of Sunflower oil. Drop 3 kernels into the oil. Cover the pot with a lid.

Wait for the first pop. 

SHOWTIME. 

Pour 1/4 - 1/2 cup kernels into the hot oil.

Put the lid back on. 

Agitate the pot while the popping takes place.

Once the popping slows down and there are a couple seconds between pops, take the pot off the heat, open the lid, sprinkle with your favorite sea salt & serve. 

One of the best things you can get at Troeg's Brewing in Hershey, PA is the rosemary butter popcorn. 

Infuse your own Rosemary oil by following these simple steps: 

Fill an 8-oz canning jar with dried Rosemary stalks. 

Pour in Sunflower oil to cover the herbs. 

Seal the jar with a lid, and set on a windowsill for 2-6 weeks, shake it on occasion. Taste test along the way. 

Once you like the flavor, strain the oil through an old (clean) stocking into a clean, dry jar. Store in a cool, dark place. Drizzle on salted popcorn or toast or use it in salad dressing.
