It's sweet corn time!
August means sweet corn in Western Pennsylvania! As a kid I can't tell you how many ears of corn I husked for my mom to blanch, cut off and freeze. I hated doing corn when I was young but I don't mind it now probably because mom and I don't do a million bags! There was one summer we did 125 bags.....we just did 25 this year. It was always so hot in August when we did corn however yesterday it was a cool 78 degrees! To me, this sweet corn signals that the end of summer is very near!
I'm really not crazy about walking down through a corn field, first there are the spiders.......need I say more and secondly I don't like the feel of the corn leaves touching my arms and face!
A little tip....place a smaller bowl in the middle of the big one to stand the ear of corn upright on to cut.....it's much easier to handle.
The finished product! I love this in my homemade veggies soup in the middle of January!
