I am currently doing some research on methods for popping corn and came across some interesting finds. First, for all of you kettle corn fans, I did find a mention of corn being popped in a iron kettle, which I assume was also used for boiling sweet corn.

Second, I found this interesting recipe for fixing pop corn, or actually what sounds like pop corn candy. Sounds worth trying:
Pop Corn
Put some nice fresh lard into a pan; when boiling drop in the corn and cover tightly, to prevent it from popping out of the pan; when done popping, remove the corn from the pan and put them in a collander to drain; have ready some nice steam syrup, heat it and flavor with either seville orange juice or lemon juice; when simmering drop in the corn; let it simmer for ten minutes; take it out in large lumps and lay in buttered dishes to cool.
