Corn. Sweet Corn.

So I have been domesticated. No more wild at heart run around chica here.

I got vegetables in bulk and froze a bunch in order to store away for the winter.

I even wore pearls, high heels, and a flashy apron to do it.

Okay.

Well.

Not quite.

Here is the true story. My uncle gave me three bags of sweet corn. Oooo I love sweet corn. And really no frozen or canned corn out there can compare to fresh sweet corn. So I decided to save a few cobs to eat now and then freeze the rest.

Step 1: Husk it. Watch out for bugs.
Step 2: Wash it off.
Step 3: Boil some water and cook batches of ears for 3 minutes each.

Step 4: Cut if off the cob. This is the longest part. I listened to some new country music I downloaded (Little Big Town and Gloriana) and bopped around to make it a bit less monotonous.

My helpers. They laid at my feet for the whole time.

The end result = only 9 bags of sweet corn. Like 75 ears of corn down to NINE bags of sweet corn. Luckily the corn was free and it will be oh so delicious. 

Here are some corn recipes I plan on trying with it:

Corn and Bacon Dip

Tomato and Corn Risotto

Corn Pudding
