Corn and more corn

The corn harvest is done!

Hubby and I started this morning picking the corn from the garden and cutting down the stalks. We shucked corn and ended up with this:

We used the electric knives to cut the corn off the cobs and estimate that we ended up with 84 cups of raw corn. Then we cook it with a recipe from hubby's grandma:

Then we leave it to cool in trays on the counter:

The taller container here was raw corn waiting
to be cooked. The other pans were the cooling pans.
You can also see a couple bags of corn in one
of the Rubbermaid containers.

We then measure it out and bag it. This year, we bought some Rubbermaid containers to keep the freezer bags of corn organized, and they stack nice in the freezer and don't slide all over. We ended up with around 68 cups of cooked corn, so it does reduce in cooking a bit.

It's amazing how much corn you get off of one cob, so we don't have to plant a lot in the garden to get all this. We lost all of our previous cooked and frozen corn last year when the upright freezer was left open overnight by mistake, but this more than makes up for it.

It's a delicious recipe, but the corn we've been planting is so sweet that we have to reduce the sugar of the original recipe. The recipe also calls for butter and a little water and salt.

Now we're restocked on corn for a long time. It's been two years since we did this, and next year we won't plant as much corn.

In a month or so, it'll be time for pumpkins.

Now, it's time for some painting of oldest kid's room. THEN I can get back to edits. At least I'm on the last round, or expect that to be the case.

Life is interesting.

God bless!
