Sweet Corn


After the silking is done Mom cuts all the kernels off the corn into a big tub then we cook it on the stove for a little bit, then take the cooked corn and dump it on pans to cool off. After it is cooled we put it in bags then freeze it. In this picture mom is a little under half way done with cutting the corn off. We did around 75 quarts of corn!! It is always a very good feeling when you are done and you load it all in the freezers.
Silking sweet corn. After you husk the sweet corn you get to go over each cob and take all the "strings" off. And you know it is sweet, sweet corn if you get pretty sticky in this process.

Picking sweet corn. We all helped Grandma do sweet corn after our Michigan trip.
