Freezing the Sweet Corn

It was the time of the year ( and it still is ... ) where we harvest and freeze our corn . The weather couldn't have been more perfect . It was sunny , but not hot . It was cool and breezy, and it was my mom and me being the happy homemakers, freezing corn . We started by picking the corn first ( *of course !*) . Here is my beautiful mum picking corn !

Me - Me my kitten strikes a cute pose for me !

After picking the corn , we sat at the side of our field and shucked the corn , while watching Me-Me chase butterflies and grasshoppers . It took forever to shuck the corn though !
When the corn was shucked and washed , we started to cut the kernels off the cob . That job took a good two hours !!! This is one of four kettles of corn with butter and salt on top .

Hours later ... the corn was finally ready to be put in the fridge and be refrigerated over night . The next morning we took the corn out of the fridge and bagged it . Then we put it in the freezer .


The next day ... Tada ! Frozen sweet corn ! And the harvesting of the sweetcorn is finished !
Happy Sweetcorn Harvesting !
