Dill Pickle Popcorn

I was curious if I could make a homemade version of dill pickle popcorn. There's a recipe for everything, right? The original recipe is from here: http://benandbirdy.blogspot.com/2011/06/dill-pickle-popcorn.html but I made a few minor adjustments.

3/4 cup popping corn
1/4 cup oil

1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tsp vinegar

1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dill
1/2 tsp salt
sprinkle of pepper

In a large pot, heat the oil on medium, add the popping corn, jiggle the pot around until the kernels are coated in oil. Put the lid on the pot, but leave it open just a crack to let the steam escape.

As the kernels start popping, give the pot an occasional jiggle, which I believe keeps the kernels at the bottom of the pot. Listen as the popping slows so you don't end up burning it. You can either dump the popcorn in a large bowl or leave it in the pot.

While the popcorn is popping, melt the butter and add the vinegar. In a separate bowl combine the garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. As soon as the popcorn is done popping, pour butter/vinegar mixture over it. Give it a toss. Then sprinkle the seasonings and toss again.

If you try this recipe, I'd be curious if you like the flavour!
