Can you advise if the corn becomes mushy and overcooked when processing for this length of time? I can not seem to find anyone with an answer... :)<br />Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-82669893540080682372013-08-30T11:16:06.806-05:002013-08-30T11:16:06.806-05:00This year I had plenty of corn to put up so I froz...This year I had plenty of corn to put up so I froze 60 quarts and canned 30 pints of creamed corn I also dried some corn to put in soup mixes that I make for gifts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02534285067168699382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-82796355441019246982013-08-30T00:04:34.069-05:002013-08-30T00:04:34.069-05:00I also use an electric knife--so much faster and e...I also use an electric knife--so much faster and easier.

She says to only cook until it smells like corn. From there its bagged and frozen. It is wonderful that way, but with lots of corn you have SO many batches. I follow a similar process, but boil the kernals in a little water with a stick of butter and salt and pepper....again just till it "smells like corn." I can do much larger batches this way.

If I had loads of corn I'd have to can it since I dont have much room in my freezer often. I saw this video on You Tube on how to cut corn off the cob super fast using a drill and a corn cutter.. If I had a bucket full, I'd be off finding myself one of these corn cutting tools & a drill. <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1vRFUZ3KbEKimHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515650243247221967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-84786070994246550102013-08-29T09:58:34.831-05:002013-08-29T09:58:34.831-05:00I'm drooling.

My hubby can't digest corn too well so I have started freezing it in my 8 ounce jam jars that have been sitting so long since we don't eat much jam. 8 ounces is perfect for adding to soups and other dishes and in jars I can really stack it in my precious freezer space. <br /><br />Your corn looks beautiful BTW :)Throwback at Trapper Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12418370592659531735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-41169172959836980252013-08-29T08:07:17.426-05:002013-08-29T08:07:17.426-05:00I freeze some off the cob because of space and I c...I freeze some off the cob because of space and I can some.

This means we cut the corn off before cooking and only cut half of the niblet off, then scrape the cob and get the juice, or cream. When finished, the corn is heated to a low simmer then cooled quickly and frozen. When cooked later on with a little milk and butter it is delicious. This is the way my family always did it and the way my neighbors do it today. We usually serve it for supper now, but my grandmother fixed it for breakfast and poured it over hot buttered biscuits. It is delicious.paularhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16867723795638151897noreply@blogger.com
