Every year a local church raises funds for missions by selling sweet corn. I think the proceeds fund Habitat for Humanity at the local level. The sale is advertised in the newspaper and only lasts for four days. We had been planning to get some corn on the last day of the sale; however, Dad heard that the corn was ready early, so he immediately took the truck and picked up thirteen dozen ears at $2.50/dozen.
Stage One: Dad and Dwight shuck the corn
Stage Two: cooking and cooling of the corn
Stage Three: taking the corn off the cob
Stage Four: packaging in freezer bags
Stage Five: ready for the freezer
From start to finish the process took about three hours. Hopefully, we will be able to do this same amount again. The variety of this corn is called “Ambrosia.”
