Fresh Sweetness Summertime Corn In Addition To Corn Bread

Almost every unmarried basic matter I know almost cooking I learned from my mom.  Her lessons receive got stuck alongside me as well as sometimes I tin dismiss genuinely take heed her proverb “there’s no bespeak to crunch that to death” or “keep stirring, it’s non done.”  While mom used saccharide inwards her confections, she didn’t saccharide coat the instructions.  This is what you lot do, period, terminate of story.  Once I had a kitchen of my ain I could yet take heed her vocalization confidently guiding me to a successful dish.  And since my mom was a great cook, she could genuinely lay downward simply about Fresh Sweet Summer Corn as well as Corn Bread!

 

My Mom spent several weeks each summertime visiting her ain woman bring upwards inwards West Virginia.  Mom as well as Mammaw planned for weeks when the best fourth dimension would live for her to come upwards as well as assist selection as well as preserve vegetables, brand jams as well as jellies as well as operate the garden.  When Mom said she was putting upwards corn, she didn’t hateful pulling it from the grocery shop sack, she was cleaning, cutting, canning or freezing the harvest.

My hubby as well as I made a quick trip through the local farmer’s marketplace this weekend as well as industrial plant life fresh sugariness corn on sale – ii dozen ears for $6.00.   My weekend plans rapidly changed to accept payoff of our newly acquired produce.   So if you lot happened to telephone telephone me as well as I didn’t answer, I was busy putting upwards corn.

According to my handy corking favorite fresh vegetable cookbook – Farmer John’s Cookbook – The Real Dirt on Vegetables, John says when it comes to corn, “eat it now.”  He goes on to write if you lot can’t consume it right away “leave the husks on as well as refrigerate the ears inwards a plastic handbag for equally piddling fourth dimension equally possible.  After almost 4 days the corn’s sweetness diminishes.”    Did you lot know you lot tin dismiss consume corn raw?  Fresh picked sugariness corn is fantastic uncooked as well as garnish free.

We decided to freeze the corn as well as thus I idea I’d part how to easily take the corn from the husk, alongside less mess.  After all the ears receive got been shucked as well as scrubbed to take the silk, house a modest cutting board within a large bowl laid inwards the kitchen sink.

Using a abrupt knife cutting away the kernels from the cob.  Using the blade of the knife or a vegetable peeler, scrape the corn cob to take the pulp as well as milk as well as whatever remaining kernels.

I measured ii cups of corn per freezer bag.  If you lot bespeak a sure as shooting amount for a recipe this volition assist preclude waste, etc.  I marked each handbag alongside “2 cups corn as well as the date.”  For 24 ears of corn I got twenty cups of kernels.  That should final us for quite a land as well as right away I receive got fresh corn ready for corn pudding, soups, stews as well as other dishes.

One of the guilty pleasures of fresh corn is to bend it into a spicy, cheesy pan of jalapeno corn bread.   This calendar week nosotros skipped dessert as well as saved room for cornbread.  This made for a fine dinner Dominicus night.
