It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

And I'm not talking about Christmas. It's sweet corn season! Oh, how I love me some sweet corn! Earlier today I shucked the corn and cleaned it for eating later.

All my yummy corn!

A hole - a sure sign of a little worm!

There he is!

Peaches and Cream!

The leftover husks, perfect snack for the cows!

I usually freeze up quite a bit to last us through the year, but I have not done so yet this year. Maybe in the next few days. But I thought I'd share my frozen sweet corn recipe for those who are little more ambitious than me lately!



Frozen Sweet Corn
15-16 cups corn (about 3 dozen ears)
4 cups water
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup salt
Mix water, sugar, and salt. Let the sugar and salt dissolve. Shuck and clean the ears of corn. Cut off the kernels and put them in a big bowl. Add the sugar and salt water mixture and mix. If you have a little more corn than 16 cups, you can add some more water. Pack into quart size freezer bags. Be sure to get an equal amount of the sugar and salt water in each bag! Then store the bags in your freezer for fresh sweet corn anytime of year!

  1. I love fresh corn. We froze ten dozen on Friday. I was shocked that we didn't find a single worm. Yay!
