Maize Days

The last couple of days have been spent putting up corn. (Not the whole day, but several hours of each, as we still had our other farm chores to complete. ) Our second crop came in. It was definitely not as good as the first, but good all the same. This corn was called True Gold . It is an heirloom yellow corn. My husband pulled while my mom and I shucked, silked and cut it off the cob. We then simmered it for a short while and let it cool before putting it in bags. I finished up the second day and we managed to freeze 29 quarts! I can say that I have finally had my fill of corn but it will be mighty tasty this winter.
