What does a coach, coach's wife, and 2 sons do on a Saturday morning you ask?
We freeze corn, duh!
Greg and I did this a few years ago and loved having yummy, sweet corn during the winter months.
We decided to make a morning of it (and let me assure you, a whole morning it took)!
Two blisters, an achey back, and a whole Saturday morning later...
There you have it! Corn to last our family all winter!
The boys had a ball playing in the corn's ice bath!
Oh we also gave canning a whirl last night and made Red Pepper Jalapeno Jam.
Mmm... combine that with cream cheese on a cracker and you've got yourself a treat!
I'm off to kick my feet up for a bit before my little pioneer babies wake up from their naps!
Happy weekend to you, friends!

That is a lot of corn! Give me some tips on freezing corn...anything other than cooking, cutting it off the cob, bagging, and then freezing?
Erica,
Shuck, boil, ice bath, cut, bag, freeze! It took about two hours and definitely required some work but we will be thankful come this winter! Let me know if you decide to do it. I can give you the step-by-step!
My mom makes a pepper chutney that sounds a lot like your jam. Great with cream cheese! Fun!
Now you have to give us your jam when you come visit! We'll exchange it for Papa Hughie's strawberry jam.
oh i long for days of pioneer-ess events. so glad to talk AND see you tonight! :)
Is this what happens when you move to Indiana? Please tell me I never have to shuck that many ears of corn—yowza!
