Corn Relish

Corn on the Cob

Whole Kernel Canned Corn

CORN!!!

Today I have made corn relish, whole kernel canned corn and also frozen up a bunch of corn on the cob to enjoy later in the year. We bought the corn from a local farmer in Hagerman, Idaho while we were down there enjoying some r & r in our motorhome.  This corn was picked fresh Saturday(yesterday) morning just for us!

Lemon Thyme Butter cubes – sorry they are a little difficult to see here but trust me they smell divine!

Yes it is the season for preserving, canning, freezing, and drying things from our garden.

Even though I have been at this pretty much all day long – it’s okay because I enjoy it. My husband helped with shucking the corn and helping find space in the freezer to put the ‘on the cob’ packages once they were all vacuum sealed! I put a pat of butter inside each pkg of ‘on the cob’ corn so when we want fresh corn, we just put the whole bag in the microwave and set it for about 3 minutes and enjoy.

There will be more to come from the garden as the squash are just about read to be harvested along with three or four big pumpkins. I need to go out and snip a few more herbs as well for drying. Oh yes almost forgot I combined softened butter with a couple different herbs and have them freezing into cubes so we can just throw them in with whatever we are going to fix for dinner and we’ll have a fresh flavor. Am going to try some olive oil and herbs in the cubes as well and will report on that later.
