247/365 - peaches and cream sweet corn
Sweet corn is one of summer's greatest crops. When it is in season we eat quite a bit of it. There are quite a few roadside stands around here so it is easily available without having to go to the grocery store. I usually buy two dozen at a time and whatever we don't eat at suppertime goes into the freezer to eat the rest of the year. It is very easy to do. Simply hold a cob (it must be either fully cooked or blanched) on top of the hole of the bundt pan, then you slice off the kernels with a good sharp knife. As you do this, the kernels fall into the bundt pan. Then you just need to spoon them up and put however much you want in either a small or medium size freezer Ziploc bag, squeeze out the extra air from the bag and pop it in the freezer. We probably have about 20 bags of corn stored in our freezer. It really is easy and you get the same great fresh taste of summer corn. To serve it later all you have to do is boil it on the stove top and drain before serving. I prefer it this way because you don't get all those annoying kernel pieces stuck in your teeth. Am I right? ;-) Haha!
