Peaches and Cream Sweet Corn Harvest | Worm Dookie | Canning Corn

[@PinballPreparedness]

You guys are just too much fun to watch. Thanks for bringing a little "lightness" to the crazy world of preparing and homesteading

[@Kight213]

This brought back some wonderful memories. All my aunts and uncles would pull thousands of ears and we would all go to my Big Mama and Granddaddy’s to put it up. Everybody had a duty from shucking to cutting. Lawd that was good times!!!! Thank y’all you made my heart smile.

[@dandahermitseals5582]

Im in my 70s from Kodiac and the Ozarks. You guys got it goin on. We got a little spread ( reduced down to bout a 100 acres) in the NE Highlands of Washington state. Your video made me hungry. Aggrivating that we're just now planting n u guys are harvesting. I remember 3 cropping years. Growing food up here is difficult. Hardly ever rains and very arrid. Ground is not soil. It's an eluvial slide from the NWT of Canada millions of years ( ? ) ago. I miss farming in the South, but, i have a 35 mile unobstructed 360° pan ( no roads or poles or houses in view. Saaaweeet) so we're in really good shape removed from all the crazy bullshit down in da crowds . solar n wind n wood n mountain spring water and years of supplies on hand any day of the year. Real preppers are allways ready for SHTF. Stay strong and free. Dan n Leslie

Wait a minute! Corn silk tea and jelly?! I see a google hunt in my future. 🤯❤️👩🏻‍🌾

[@Cdngardengirl]

Peaches & Cream corn is the most popular here in Ontario, Canada. And I cut out corn dookies as well. Ick!

[@thelazyj8658]

There ain’t nothing no better than fresh corn cooked in a cast iron skillet! Pardon my English!

I love the sound of corn twisting off the stalk!

[@kathyaldridge7171]

I noticed that Danny was humming a tune while twisting off those ears of corn. Talk about somebody being in their element!

[@jjo5375]

I love the sound of 'corn crunch' as I gobble it off the cobb! YUMMM.......... : )

[@tamihindman9431]

I am sooooooooo with Wanda 😝😝😝...it’s not wasted...the chickens are getting fed so I consider that a win win , clean corn for me , feed for the chickens

[@pms1953]

When you cut the corn with a knife you need to put the tip of corn in the hole of a bunt cake pan then when you cut it off it goes in the pan. Makes it real easy to cut off the cob

[@dianetucker2711]

LOL!!! My Grandmother was so scared of those worms!!! She would holler every time she saw one as we were shucking the corn. Sometimes my brother would toss the tip of a corncob her way and yell,”WORM!”. She’d holler out again! She couldn’t stand the thoughts of a worm any more than she could a snake. We would all get a good laugh about it. 🥰

[@jjo5375]

What a blessing to be able to harvest corn in MAY! I'm jealous! lol Here in PA we have to wait until late June/early July. : (

[@grannyprepper1181]

Wanda, I was laughing so hard at you and the wormdookie. My job as a kid was scrubbing the silk off. Oh y’all, please send me the skillet full of corn.

[@SugarCreekOffGrid]

I'm with Wanda on this one.... No dookie in my corn either. 😂

I remember the corn assembly lines we had one too we planted 12-200 foot long rows Corn day was fun though boiled corn and conecuh sausage for lunch!!!

[@TheMixingBowlHomestead]

I like the way your lovely bride peels the corn. 👍

[@imari2305]

Hahaha I agree with Ms. Wanda; "I don't want no worm dookie in my corn. Beautiful ears of corn. Never knew there was so much work in the harvest and the process. Thanks for sharing.

[@lisaelliott1149]

Happy Friday Deep South! Oh Miss Wanda I'm watching with my morning coffee and had a good laugh at your expense I'm afraid. Gotta be your new canning battle cry. No corn dooky in the kitchen lol. I don't blame you although I admit I'm like Danny and I'm eating every bite the worm didn't get first. Other worms...nope deal breakers in my maters and beans. Have a beautiful weekend 💜

[@przlsc]

My Grandpa, (a corn farmer in Illinois) always said you put the water on to boil, then go pick the corn. My mom, grandma and cousins worked on the corn and cut it off with a knife. OH, the rows that stuck together! We would just pop it in our mouths on the sly 😋 didn’t need much supper when we were doin up the corn! It only ever got froze and Grandma made a sugar salt brine to freeze it in. So good!

[@ashhill9650]

I have to agree with Wanda on this one .

[@jjo5375]

YUP! Big time!

[@Mike.Jones2]

Thats what you call fresh

[@ChosenAbundanceFarm]

First time corn grower here. Thank you for all of the information. Your videos are always educational and fun

[@HomesteadHopefulTara]

That’s how my granny did her creamed corn. She used the sharp side of the knife to cut off the kernels and the dull side to scrape the “milk” out of the cobs. She swore by white field corn for her creamed corn, and I must agree because it was the best creamed corn I ever had. That’s all she used in hers, too. Corn, butter, salt and pepper.

[@linklesstennessee2078]

Boy my mouth is watering that stainless corn cutter was awesome we always just cut and scraped when mom and granny was living all of us would get together on everything we had some good times and always eat good had to laugh it made my day when Wanda said we had all the women helping now I got Danny lol lol I know my wife says the same thing lol

[@HylyJrdn]

We love fresh corn cooked in a hot cast iron skillet, with lots of butter and salt and pepper! Can’t get any better than that!

[@MsLippy]

I use the knife method, and I love the juice we call milking the corn. Those bags are great, cant beat the price... Oh and I agree - yuck on corn dookie, lol

[@rosejafari8917]

You have to milk it for good cream or fried corn. Yum

[@heidimisfeldt5685]

OH YEAH, ME TOO. 🎆🎇✨ THAT'S GREAT FOOD.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

I am not squeamish over corn worms either. Every so often I'll be lucky and get to the farm market or the farm stand on years when their BT didnt work and people were putting all the ears to the side with worms in. I asked what he was going to do with all that corn on the side he was going to sell to pig farm and I had intended to feed it to my chickens. He sold me that corn $5 a bushel so of course I try it thinking the chickens will feast but when hubby and I start shucking we realized right quick that most of the damage is only on the end and we cut that bit out like you Wanda and just processed the rest for us. I now actively check and offer to buy any wormy corn. Even the big box store sold me the "bug" corn for pennies compared to regular price(local grown corn not the imported stuff) Sure a few are beyond even my tolerance for critter bites so the chickens enjoy. But it fills the freezer. Oh and we try to rotate the freezer veg/meat but had one pack of corn that must have just been lucky to hid in there it had been packed in 2011 and we found it 2018 decided its vacpacked the worse thing is it won't taste right so opened and cooked it and other than a strong "husk" taste that corn was fine. We try to freeze some on the cob too for the grandkids. They love corn on the cob during a stay hone snow day! Love your channel.

[@jjo5375]

"corn on the cobb on a snow day"..... I'm weeping here! Corn on the cobb is my favorite food in the world! Cut my teeth on it...literally. Mom would eat off most of the corn, leaving a bit here and there, give toddler mee the ear...which I gummed and gnawed at....creating an 'addict' at the tender age of two! : )

[@millermdiehl]

I did this by myself 2 year ago. But I did 3 bushels with three little kids all by myself. I canned it and it was amazing. I love canned corn.

[@girlywhirly4971]

I would wear a glove to cut that corn on that creamer blade. My grandma used to make fresh creamed corn with milk or cream and butter and I don't remember what else. It was the best creamed corn I ever had!

[@tammyhanson7843]

I live in Northwest Washington State and I’ve never seen a worm in my corn🇺🇸🙋‍♀️🦋💜oh that pan fried corn looks good. When my dad was alive he would sit down to supper and say “I wonder what the poor people are eatin tonight?” Then he would state all the supper food lol. Mom never served a bad meal, it was dads way of complementing mom on her cooking🥰

[@paulettegomez6057]

I love eating the corn right off the stalk, it's so sweet 🤗

[@morganwoodsfarm-kim1060]

Great video. We blanch and freeze corn also. We don’t have the growing space, but purchase it by 52 ear feed bags from a local farm. We cut “whole kernel” with steak knives, just like my dairy farm aunt taught me 40+ years ago. I purchased these yellow plastic corn cutters a few years ago and they just slowed me down. I canned corn in pint jars a few years ago, but it turned a little brown. Maybe because I didn’t add salt. So we went back to freezing it.

[@pokeyjo61]

the last time we did corn we had Bodacious and we had 10 dozen ears and got over 40 quart bags (i fill mine like you did with 2 cups per bag). That was the biggest ears ofvcorn i have ever seen in my life. We grow awesome corn here in the midwest.

[@claireisacamel]

Danny is a good stand in for a little old lady cutter! 🤣

[@SouthFloridaSunshine]

Extra protein in the form of worm or corn dooky no thank you! That corn looks amazing. I remember my Daddy having fresh tomatoes and corn for dinner and we all loved it. So sad I only got to experience that till I was 5, but I never forgot those meals and the hot melted butter Mom would pull off the stove top in her little enamel butter pouring pots. The simplest but most delicious memories. Mr. Danny I don’t use aluminum but TY for the tip. And you too Wanda you both are a blessing in all you teach about the lost ways for some of us. Thank you, so much!

[@daylily-wn3cw]

Yeah....I wouldn’t want corn dookie either....I busted out laughing when Mrs.Wanda said dookie because I say that too!! My daughter (she is our adopted baby) asked if Mrs. Wanda was our family 😂😂❤️!

[@garyb4929]

never liked our old flat top stove, got rid of it. Love corn review, mouth watering, lol. I use cookie sheets for form freezing goods, particularly blueberries. Great video ,Thanks

[@Emeraldwitch30]

I freeze a lot (after blanching what needs it)on cookie sheets and then put it in the vacuum sealer bags. Seems to really help with the quality when you reheat it.

[@misst1586]

@@Emeraldwitch30 been awhile since I did that. But one time I gleaned enough with others' help to fill the food bank trucks. Then I brought about 100 home to my friends house. We blanched/cooled same as Miss Wanda except as you did we put them whole into my friends foodsaver. Froze them. Tasted fresh picked when we ate later. Good times.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

Wow, from field to plate all in one day...that's awesome! I just planted corn for the first time today, hope I don't get corn dookie lol, if so I will be like Wanda and cut it out and scrub it off...no corn dookie for me either :D

[@christiebetts4970]

Well Dannys got to be worth at least a couple old ladies cutting that corn! I remember watching my grandmother cut corn with a knife.She said you had to learn not to cut too deep and not get the tough stuff next to the cob, but not waste corn also

Have you thought of getting a Food Saver vacuum sealer? a good one for heavy work will cost about 200, but we use the 2222 series, about $100 for that one and then we invested in 5 packets of 100 pre-made quart channel bags from an online source and after the year we have 200 packets left and have to order more. We use the vacuum sealer to save all of the foods that we pack or repack for the freezer. We do take the foldover sandwich bags to encase pieces of meat or cooked portions before we vacuum seal them to keep any juices from pulling up to the seal. Using the vacuum sealer this way helps to prevent any freezer crystals and freezer burn in the deep freeze. FYI we had some chicken breast from 2010 in the deep-freeze that had slipped down to the lower level, and we used it, we try to use the older stuff first, and it was just as good as when it was first vacuum sealed. Just a bit of info for ya, now a "chamber" vacuum sealer is way more expensive but in that type you can actually vacuum seal liquids successfully

My mom use to cut the corn with a knife and then let me milk it as she called it with a butter knife. If a cob was pulled to soon she let me eat it as I loved the tender pop of of the unripe ones. When I buy corn I still look for the most early picked one I can find for my ear.

[@THEGROWITS]

Nice looking corn there yall!!

[@claireisacamel]

Weirdest thing, but if you cut all the way through the cob, at the bottom, about 1/2 inch up from the bottom of the ear, you can take off all the husk & silks at once - I think it’s because the silks are thicker at the base since they grow up from there, so it’s easier to get a handle on all of them and take them off. No chasing down silks and breaking them all off in 100 pieces when your shucking. Game changer!
