My friend hooked me up with a big ol sack of corn for free.

Took it home and shucked it and cut off the not ready / want to eat bits.

Boiled them for about 4 minutes and then dropped them in an ice bath.

We borrowed a Lee corn cutter from Theresa’s parents. Lynn said the cutter was older than Theresa. The package is mostly shredded, but still cool. This thing will cut the kernels off, shred, and cream corn if you want. We just wanted the kernels cut off.

The thing is really efficient. It has a slightly dull blade that grabs the kernel and pulls it out of the husk. We got quite the haul.

Here is a piece I ran through our mandoline slicer. Lots of junk gets mixed into the mess and the kernels are not whole.

Sucky bagged it all up and will have corn when we want. We plan on getting lots more here soon. Gotta have the good stuff over winter.
