feeling corny?

This weekend we cooked and bagged over 15 dozen ears of sweet corn!! If you are wondering why anyone would be crazy enough to go to that much effort, you've never tried Rader's sweet corn. It's the best!! It helps, of course, that at least 4 of the 5 of us love corn.
Here's how to do it:
Find a free afternoon
Find some really good corn
Have a couple of good sized cooking pots on hand, along with at least 2 bags of ice.
Then...
1. Shuck the corn
2. Get your water boiling.
3. Boil 6 ears at a time for 2 minutes.
4. Immediately cool corn in ice water and then remove.
5. Cut corn off cob.
6. Bag corn and put in the freezer.
It's really not that hard, just time consuming to do a lot. It took us about 4 1/2 hours from start to finish. We had corn for supper, too, though I noticed no one asked for seconds...but now we have enough corn to last until spring!!

Josiah loved helping. He ate two ears while watching us cut corn off the cob!!!
