Freezer Corn

After three days, and 16 large garbage bags full of corn on the cob, we have finally stocked all of our freezers full of corn to last us until next year. Last year, my family alone ate almost 300 quart-sized freezer bags full...we use corn in so many of our casseroles, soups etc...and we also like to eat it alone as a side dish. It was a big job...but I'm glad it's all done for another year :) I am super lucky to have such an amazing husband who grows an amazing sweet corn patch for us every year. Over the years, he has tried hundreds of varieties and narrowed it down to the sweetest flavors, and he also has it all planned out so that we have different varieties that each ripen at different times so we can enjoy eating fresh corn on the cob for a little over a month!

Oh my goodness! I grew up with my mom freezing and putting up corn this way. And also using large galvanized tubs on saw horses dumping fresh veggies straight from the garden to can veggie soup. It was no fun as a kid (and that's because they didn't know how to make it fun) but I appreciate those days so much. And the soup was so good it's hard to duplicate now.

I love this!!!! Most of all I love how the whole family helps!!! I need to show this to my kids!
I grew corn for the first time this Summer. I was not very successfull. The ears of corn were small and I got some kind of pest, like a beetle, that did not make the experience pleasant.
I would love to try again next year. Any suggestion?
Thank you for sharing your life!
