Can the corn relish be freeze dried?

[@ColdInTheStudio]

Just have to say that I'm so appreciative that you don't put annoying music over your videos the majority of the time. A lot of cooking/homestead type channels do this and, maybe it's an unpopular opinion, but I find it really overstimulating. So thank you! Love your channel

Corn is such a multi use crop. Dried stalks can be used for fall decorations, husks can be dried for tamales, silks dried to make a tea for many medicinal benefits, cobs for jelly, and of course the kernels to make a variety of foods. What a blessing to find so much corn!

[@beetee3272]

Also simmer the cobs to make a broth to can or scrap the cobs for a creamier style corn. Or use clean husks to flavor soups & stews like you would any dried herb or leaves such as bay leaf just remove before serving

[@kathleendyer672]

Corn cob jelly was such a revelation! It tastes a lot like honey and it’s delicious on biscuits and cornbread!

[@jesselliott604]

[@cynthiapm8149]

I was thinking same thing husks to dry and make tamales for Christmas and boil cobs with half and half and sugar for corn ice cream. You can always top corn ice cream withTajin powder and Chamoy too. Of course you need to temper egg yolks with boiled mixture to make the custard.

[@randomharts]

As a kid, we lived on a farm with limited heating options. Our main heat source in the winter was corn cobs…they were dried and added to our wood burning furnace. Once they were burning it was a nice heat source but I remember it being difficult to start them if the fire went completely out!

[@shesatitagain234]

You’re a better woman than I am because I HAVE to have a name label on everything that goes into the freezer because otherwise it might as well just plan on homesteading in there. TRUE STORY: Years ago when visiting my Nana ( their very large farm was in far eastern Arkansas) she asked me to go down to the barn, where the big deep freezer was, and get some bananas she’d placed in there earlier. I’m thinking “in a container, labeled BANANAS”. I look in the freezer and cannot find them; searched for an embarrassingly long time but still no sign of them. I go back up to the house and report no such findings. She’s perplexed. I told her I looked and looked but no bananas. I then said,” why do you have an old baseball glove in the bottom of that freezer?” Now she’s even MORE perplexed. After describing the baseball glove she begins laughing to the point of almost not being able to breathe. I begin laughing at that point, although I’m just laughing at her because I STILL don’t know why she’s laughing uncontrollably. That wasn’t a baseball glove. She’d been in a hurry and simply placed the bunch of bananas in the freezer, peel still on, bananas still connected to one another. I SWEAR it looked just like a baseball glove! 🤣

[@danniemcdonald4903]

I love your new kitchen. Gas stoves rock! Some tips regarding your Food Saver: To avoid getting liquid in your machine, flash freeze everything first. Put the food in the bag, flatten it, leave it opened and put it on a cookie sheet in the freezer. Once solid, vacuum seal it. You can reuse the bags. Just wash them with soap and hot water (or run them through the dishwasher). In order to reuse bags that have had raw meat in them (or leftovers), before flash freezing, put the food in a zip lock bag, flash freeze, open the bag and place in the FS bag and vacuum seal. These extra steps do take a little time, but you can always multi-task and do something else while the food is flash freezing. It will save you a ton of money on bags, too. Oh, and you can also "boil in the bag" any veggies that you want to cook/heat up that have been vacuum sealed. Just use simmering, not boiling water. On to finish the video!

[@LeighIR]

Your thumbnail reminded me of the time my Grandfather's garden produced a HUGE crop of corn. The back of Daddy's truck was completely full. He and I were in the garage, shucking corn, while Mother was in the kitchen canning it. She would laugh later about how there was corn on the ceiling, on the floor, in her hair, corn EVERYWHERE. His corn was so good, Mother would eat it raw in the garden. It was the only veggie I would eat as a kid. You would've loved his garden.

Its the first time I've ever "put up corn" but you make it look SO EASY!!! Thanks for helping a sister out! ;)

[@PixieLovesItAll]

Corn silk is also great in handmade lye soap! Let it dissolve in your lye water as it cools down, strain with a stainless steel mesh strainer when adding your lye solution into your fats, oils, butters, and it makes for a super silky, creamy premium lather. I always throw a quart freezer bag or two of corn silk in my freezer during the summer for use in soap throughout the year! 😊

I love that you mentioned buying organic isn't always necessary especially when it's super expensive to certify organic. I never learned this till I worked at Whole Foods (before Amazon bought them out and the department buyers were super knowledgeable), the produce buyer at our store told us that it's better to know which farm it comes from because that farm may be using ethical farming practices but can't afford to certify organic

[@lauracossaart6873]

Hi Becky! I don’t know if someone already mentioned, but you can also bulk up the corn salsa with a can of black beans and serve as a chip dip :).

[@dianamallory8535]

You mentioned in a past video you want to make Tamales, you could have dried some of the husk for tamales. I never blanch my corn I leave a thin layer of husk on it, cut of the ends and put them in freezer bags. The flavor is amazing! Taste as fresh as it did from the day it was picked! I only freeze enough corn to last one season. If I have any corn left in the freezer when the new season comes in My chickens get a nice frozen treat on a hot summer day!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I wish I had the same experience. I’ve frozen corn on the cob both with the husk on and off. I’ve even vacuum sealed it. It always tastes watery and more like the cob to me. I wonder if it makes a difference what type of corn you freeze? I’ve mainly done the super sweet varieties.

[@melissam450]

I’m interested to know what variety of corn you use as well. I vacuum sealed some of our corn in the husk as well but we haven’t tried it yet. We grew Silver Queen this year, now I’m curious as to how well it will hold up in the freezer.

[@authorannbaker]

I have found parchment paper works well for tamale wrappers when you can't get corn husks. Also, I scrape the corn cobs with the back of my knife after cutting off the kennels. There's quite a bit of corn and juice to be had.

[@terraranch1459]

I do the same thing with my corn. Hugs❤️

[@AcreHomestead]

Great idea!! I still have some I can do that!!

[@suesweetpea7]

HI BECKY, YOU CAN USE YOUR ANGEL FOOD CAKE PAN TO REOVE THE KERNALS FROM THE COB, IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM.

[@kristenevans4557]

You can freeze whole ears of corn by just cutting the tops and tails, leaving the husk and silks attached, placing in freezer bags and freezing to be roasted on the grill (still leaving the husk and silks on) or roasted in the oven, later. I do this every year and it’s a great time and energy saver if you like eating ears whole. Your preservation/garden harvest videos are among some of my favorites so I’m really excited to see this years big harvest. I think I discovered you during last season’ big harvest. Great times. Thanks for bringing us along.

This brings back such childhood memories. We always had a huge garden growing up. we would sit in lawn chairs and shuck corn, shell peas and snap beans for processing. My dad would mow the corn husks and we would scatter those on the compost pile. We also poured the corn water onto the compost pile. I have to say, we also "milked the cob" with extra scrapes to get all of the sugary goodness.

[@marcellareese8853]

Yes, my grandmother taught us how to scrape the cob with the back of your knife to get out the extra goodness. So yummy.

[@dianetucker2711]

Becky here is a huge time saver on the corn. I used to blanch it just like you for years. Then a friend shared a different way and I PROMISE you it stays so much fresher than blanching. Leave the shucks on the corn except a couple or three on the very outside. Cut the silk end off a few inches. After you freeze the corn in this way, the silks and shucks peel off so easily and the corn tastes like you picked it that very day - so good. I was so afraid to try it this way but I promise you’ll never go back to blanching. Try a few ears and you’ll see. I still freeze it in ziplock freezer bags.

[@karens.woltering420]

I did that this year!

[@debrakrause8893]

I agree! No need to blanch the corn.

[@unseentiger3896]

Sounds good if you wanted corn on the cob. For bulk buying and storage this would take up way more freezer space than cutting it all off and storing it.

Cookie sheet under the chopping board is GENIUS. I am legendary for making a big mess whenever I cook, so I should totally do that 😅

Additionally, a damp paper-towel under the chopping board will prevent the board from moving in the baking sheet or counter top 🙂

I think that the freeze dried cucumber is going to work great for tzatziki. I usually salt and drain the water from my cucumbers, and I let the Greek yogurt drain to thicken the sauce, and I think that the freeze dried cucumbers would negate both of those steps.

[@seasquidney]

Becky, thank you for inspiring me to get into food preservation! Your passion for it is absolutely contagious. Watching you made me want to learn how to pressure can, but I couldn't afford one. Coincidentally, it turned out that a family member was holding onto my late-Nana's pressure canner from the 70s and they passed it on to me! This last weekend I successfully canned salmon for my first time! Not only did it make me feel closer to my Nana, but having shelf-stable food that we personally caught is such a rewarding feeling! 😊

[@limitlessreviews1]

I am glad you showed your processing of this local corn because it reminds me you encouraged learning how to preserve fresh food 'before' endeavoring to grow a large amount of produce yourself. I never thought to buy in bulk in season and preserve in this way but I want to try it out. I love summer and fall for the corn and always get sad when the season is over so now I know I can enjoy that yummy corn year-round!

[@amariahg5450]

I'm still trying to get my garden to produce enough tomatoes for spaghetti sauce, but until then I drive out Utah's "Fruit Highway" in August and buy tomatoes and bell peppers in bulk from the locally owned produce stands - I also like to get a bushel each of green beans and peas, as well as 30-40 ears of corn and two bushels of apples for drying and canning applesauce. We're also lucky enough to have local farms about 20 minutes west of us that sell onions in 25 or 50lb bags, and farmers from Idaho that bring 50lb sack of potatoes down in box trailers each fall for sale.

[@melindawargowsky8176]

My husband and I do all our corn for freezing outside. None of the mess in the kitchen! We set up the propane turkey fryer with water to blanch the corn. With the turkey fryer, you can do 20 to 24 ears at a time depending on size. It stays at a boil almost constantly, making it go fast. We set up 2 tubs or coolers with cold water from the outside faucet. Cool in one, move to the second for final cooldown. Set up our cutting and bagging station on the tailgate of the pickup. Use one of the cooling tubs with hot water to wash all the dishes, and no mess in the house! Also, no heat in the house to drive up air conditioning bill! Just remember to park the pickup in the shade :)

[@shannonkeil5989]

I was thinking that her house has got to be so hot from all that boiling and was trying to remember if the grill that they bought had a side burner on it. If she doesn’t have a turkey fryer, it would also be a good option to keep the heat out of the house. The only problem is that she constantly multitasking when she’s in the kitchen so she might have to have Josh watch the corn boil, lol

You can dry the tassels and use them for tea. It is good for several things e.g. PMS, joint problems, bloodsugar levels, headaches etc. there is a natural salicylic acid in it.

[@TheShadowMan.]

Interesting. Salicylic is basically Aspirin, so the silk tea would have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties! Good tip

[@Pharphette]

@@TheShadowMan. Both salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid are useful as medications. The key difference between salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid is that the salicylic acid molecule has a carboxyl group and a hydroxyl group attached to a benzene ring whereas the acetylsalicylic acid molecule has a carboxyl group and an ester group attached to a benzene ring. Moreover, there are some other differences as well. As another important difference between salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid, we can say their applications.That is; we use salicylic acid to treat warts, dandruff, acne and other skin disorders as it is a chemical exfoliant while we use acetylsalicylic acid to treat pain, fever and inflammation.

It was fun to watch you canning. I haven’t had a canning spree for many years and I’m looking forward to starting gardening again so I can can tomatoes, sauces, relishes and other stuff. Just be cautious with lifting and carrying the heavy canner with hot water in it.

Go Becky you're rocking it all.watching now

[@amygipple827]

Just a tip, when freezing corn you should run the back of your knife over the cob to get everything out, makes your frozen corn so much better!

[@joanhunt7560]

Preserving onion. See that 1870s homestead video...canning up carmelized onion. I love it!

Aloha from Hawai'i ♥Would love to watch you go harvesting LIVE. Please!! Anywhoooo, lots of love from across the ocean to you, Ohana and all who surrounds YOU. Blessings, mahalo🌺~.~

[@jojacobson179]

Love your kitchen!! Thought I’d mention Stiver Homestead cut their squash/zucchini into rounds and freeze dried and said it was delicious just that way!

[@melissam450]

Yellow squash is absolutely amazing out of the freeze dryer! I blended my zucchini and some yellow squash as well into a powder for flour. 👍🏽

Their farm got struck by lightning. They are fine but it did shake them up. Video was up today.

@@leewalton3242 yes, I saw that and very scary! 😦

I was watching 1870 homesteader she did a spice corn relish and she use her cobs to make corn syrup. On holler homesteader , they cut the kernels off individually but not to deep so they could make whole corn , then they scrap off the cobs to make cream corn. And then gave the cobs to the chickens. Another homesteader drying the husks for tamialie. Here in Texas we're dry the corn for cornmeal or feed. The dry stocks are being used as hay. Because of the drought were having. Love watching your videos. So happy for ya'll and your new home.

My grandparents were tomato farmers. 100 acres. But… they always bought 100 ears of corn to put up every summer. I always helped as a little girl. Fond, wonderful memories.

[@marygray9002]

I love corn relish and made a double batch! Never thought to put it on tacos! Thanks for that great idea! I put my ears of corn (trimmed) in the microwave for two minutes per ear and the husk and silk come off like magic and no further need for blanching ! Love those forjar lids also and love them! You are my joy in life!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi Becky, hope you are feeling well. I love how excited you are each year at harvest time. You are doing such a great job of taking amazing care of your family. This child is so blessed to have you & Josh in this beautiful home with the bonus puppies. You did get a lot of corn, zucchini, corn relish done today. That bread looked so delicious. You have got a great start on filling the freezer & pantry. Until next time.

[@cynthiaduquette7423]

Noticed you’re not so pale. Growing a human takes a lot of energy. Take care. Congratulations on your new home. How blessed 💃

i have no idea how to garden but you are such a comfort youtuber for me i love your videos so much your voice and the way you explain things is amazing thank you for being a wonderful human

[@cfriday2day]

Save you larger husks and dry for the tamales you wanted to make!

[@dhunters5]

We are going to 'corn fest' this weekend and the elderberries on the mountain are ready to harvest!! I can't wait!! This is my favorite time of year hands down!! Happy canning!!

[@SowGrowandSustain]

Yes, freeze dry shredded zucchini and then turn it into a powder. You can substitute 1/3 zucchini flour for all purpose flour especially in making zucchini bread! It turns out sooooo good!!

[@kathycamasso6672]

I think this is my favorite type of video to watch with you! I love seeing you preserving things, testing recipes and cooking up all this goodness!

[@heathersumner4497]

We can this as well and my family slathers their tacos with it. My first though for the husks was to dry them for tamales. It is great to see the house working out for you guys.

[@laurielyon1892]

I'm getting some corn from our local farmer this weekend to put away. I was thinking about your cucumber. You said you liked the sauce, would it work if your cucumber was in powder form? I also take my cucumber and peel and puree it. I put it into ice cube trays and then put a cube of it in my daily smoothies. So Good!

[@beckmay5287]

Ive watched quite a few of ur videos now and just a suggestion that may make ur life easier when it comes to chopping onions. Cut the top off then put that side down flat and cut the onion in half (leave the root end on) then slice it to the thickness u want leaving a small space by the roots uncut and it will hold the onion together making it alot easier to dice up without onion slices going all over the place. I wish i learned this yrs ago but in the few yrs ive been doin it its saved me the headache and also some time in the kitchen too 😊 hope this tip helps u hun ❤

[@andrealehman9566]

I sit at my desk at work all day, watching/listening to your videos and dreaming about living your life :) I love these videos, you inspire me!

Love you Becky!! You are the most motivated person I know, and an incredible multi-tasker!!! Those zucchini breads looked so yummy, I'm going to have to make some too. You look so excited and full of energy for the upcoming harvest. Can't wait to see your new videos. Take care. 💜👶🏻💙

[@candacethompson2521]

Hi. Did you by chance plant golden zucchini? To me your yellow squash looks just like golden/yellow zucchini. I know they are both squash, totally interchangeable, for all squash recipes. Enjoy....

[@jennifercarducci619]

Becky your face just lights up when you talk about food preservation! You are doing so many good things for you and Josh and your friends and family. You are a beautiful person!

[@gwynvyd]

Another cool thing you can do with left over corn husks is to make a Corn Maiden Doll. Now is the perfect time- Harvest Time- to make one. We always place ours on the mantel in hopes of a safe and bountiful year. It is a Cherokee Heritage thing that has been passed down. We do a new one each year.

[@johnreginahenderson7032]

Love this! Your new kitchen rocks, it fits your personality! I am freeze drying cucumbers today to powder to use in smoothie this winter! Thanks for all the good tips! I enjoy watching you so much! Regina😊

[@Romans828girl]

Another use for that powder: Nicole at Living Free in Tennessee powders up freeze dried cucumbers and uses it as gluten free flour.

[@JasmineBrownOttawa]

Ooooh, my family has a business that makes dressings, sauces, etc. and we have a sweet corn relish and a hot corn relish! I'm so glad you are making corn relish today 😃

Becky, you amaze me on how much you get done in a day. That has to feel good.

[@KatRN1000]

Our local farmer has a way to freeze corn. Blanch the ears, then cut the kernels off. Spread on a baking sheet, pour milk over corn, add a stick of butter. Cook in oven (I forgot the temp/time) then freeze in -lactic bags.

[@francesbolen257]

You are amazing! You really awesome at preserving and moving on top of that.

[@meganzambo2403]

I watched on that 1870s homestead that you can make syrup from corn cobs. Said it taste like maple syrup! I'm very much looking forward to trying that next year as well as the corn relish!

[@Sweetmountainpioneer]

That sounds amazing

[@meganzambo2403]

[@shannon9544]

I was looking at recipes awhile back and the idea I could make my own corn syrup from a few cobs made me really excited- the method doesn’t seem complicated either!

[@meganzambo2403]

@@shannon9544 from what I recall it’s boiling the cobs, removing them and reducing the liquid to a syrup and canning. Time consuming but not complicated as you said
