That’s ME!!! I sent you the corn peeler! I’ve LITERALLY been waiting all year for corn season for you to use it 😊 It’s AMAZING!!! Glad it’s a timesaver for you too! 🌽🌽
Funny story about corn. I don’t grow corn normally, but this year we got corn volunteers planted by the squirrels. I have a very big feeder for birds and critters and the mix contains corn. I also have sunflowers popping up everywhere. It’s probably the birds dropping them. 😅 I don’t mind, and it was a couple of nice surprises. I am going to let them dry on the plant, so not harvest them until the plant is dead. I am doing the same with the sunflowers. After that it will be used to feed the critters and birds. This way, the birds and critters, grew their own food in my garden. 😊
Becky, I use my vacuum sealer ALL the time! It's one of my favorite kitchen gadgets. One thing I do that I thought I'd share with you is that before I vacuum seal anything with juices, (i.e. vegetables, meats, fruit...), I lay the product in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze it. Then, when I vacuum seal, the juices are frozen in the meat, fruit, veggies, etc. and are not sucked up by the vacuum out of the food and into the tray for me to clean up. Ultimately, I found that using this process saves me time and energy. I sure do enjoy your videos.
Pro tip, you can cook a huge batch of corn by adding boiling water to an igloo cooler, add your corn, shut the lid and let sit for about 20 minutes. Turns out beautifully! We’ve used this trick on multi family, camping trips, works like a charm😁
Years ago I used to buy 100 ears of corn and my husband helped me cut off the kernels with just a knife. We usually got 33 pints of corn to enjoy all winter long. We also canned tomatoes for pasta sauce and it always happened that happened on the hottest day of the year. After cooking the tomatoes down, we would run it through a food mill so that we didn’t have seeds in the sauce. We packed the sauce in quart jars. Since we can buy canned sauce for about $1.00 a can, I gave up canning tomatoes. Also because we are much older now having been married for 57 years.
Holy Cow Becky & Josh… you both are incredible people and make everything seem like it’s second nature. Just wanted to say thank you for finding the time and making the effort to share your amazing journey ❤
If you don't cut your corn so deep, then you scrape it from the top to the bottom, you will have the best most natural creamed corn you've ever had! I know you can't do it now, but maybe next year! Also, use your bunt pan to put the small end of the corn in the hole, then the bunt pan catches all the corn.
If you have access to a turkey fryer (propane/outside), you can boil a huge amount of water in just minutes. The large pan and basket can blanch 20-30 ears at a time, depending on size 😊
I didn't have great success either and was told to plant a minimum of 4 rows for proper pollination. When I did that, I had success. I grew antique blue corn and Strawberry corn as well as Honey & Cream for fresh eating. I gave the Blue corn and Strawberry corn in little decorated paper bags in my gift baskets for Christmas with instructions for making popped corn with them IN the little paper bags. They were a big hit. The best way to grow corn is the Three Sisters Method, it is how the American Indians grew corn. The 3 sisters are corn, pole beans, and squash. I planted 4-6 corn plants in hills with a fish carcass under, 4-6 pole bean plants and 4 squash (could be summer squash like zucchini, winter squash like acorn, or pumpkins, any squash you like) all in the same hills. The beans grow up the corn stalks, the squash shades the earth so there is less evaporation and the three plants have a symbiotic relationship to each other called companion planting and they actually grow better together than apart. The beans are nitrogen fixing and the corn are heavy feeders, so the circle of life continues. Blanching stops the sugars from turning into starch, so your corn stays sweet and doesn't become bland.
Last weekend I preserved and froze the kernels from 144 ears of corn. It really whooped me but my family will surely appreciate it and so will my Thanksgiving dinner guests. 😮💨😩💕
I blanched, removed off the cob and freeze dried corn with nothing (so salt, no sugar, no anything). It turned out absolutely delicious. Using it for snacks and for rehydrating and frying up in butter for supper.
I know not everyone is blessed to have someone help in the kitchen while prepping food for storage or anything but I am grateful that I have a family that loves doing this together. It’s great to see/hear Josh helping you. I think it it brings a family closer working together. I’m not as adventurous in doing corn. It is probably one of the only thing I don’t prep in any form. I buy it frozen from the store. Lol
When you process corn on the cob, use an ice chest with cold water and ice cubes to cool down your corn. When you are finished, open up the spout and drain out the water in your sink or outside. If the corn isn't cool enough, add more cold water. We use water from the garden hose, so it is usually really cold from our well.
My kids and I belong to a food distribution group. Our last share was full of fruits and vegetables. We spent several days processing the abundance for our families to share. I learned the hack to chop and freeze from your channel. Bell peppers, onions, celery and carrots all chopped and bagged. I gave almost all the scraps to my chickens. They love scraps.
Having Josh assist with you for some projects must be really great. When he helped you with cleaning the onions and now with the corn. I don't know how you have the time for everything you do.
One of our chickens, Rose, figured out how to walk down the corn rows, jump up and pull the shucks down, and then jump up and eat the corn. Then she taught Lily how to do it. That year, every single ear had chicken bites taken out of them. We fenced them after that! We gave the girls the cobs and they loved them. Pigs love them, too!! I bought that corn tool after seeing you use it last year. It is a miracle!!! It changed my life!! And freeze dried corn is one of the best tasting veggies to reconstitute! Just amazing! I canned a lot of corn one year, we hated it. The pigs were very happy to help out, however!
Becky, I used to boil corn. Many decades ago I learned about campfire corn and wondered why I wasn’t taught that first! I grew up camping, not glamping. Still, I had no idea it was a thing. Then I met my husband and his family. We went camping together regularly for those first few years. In tents. In northern Michigan. Even in the dead of winter. That first trip was when I learned about campfire corn on the cob. We may not camp in a tent anymore, but when we make corn, camping or at home, we make it like this… As we shuck them, we leave a 1 1/2 inch handle on the stem, wrap each ear in a double layer of foil with 2 tabs of salted butter. Each tab is about a teaspoon and a half. One tab on each side,evenly spaced. Toss each cob into the coals of the fire or onto the grill or under the broiler until they start smelling like popcorn. Some char is necessary, spread evenly, so turn every 5 minutes or so.. until they start to smell like popcorn. Pull and let rest. When you’re ready to eat, pick one, unwrap and add your preferred spices, salt, pepper, garlic, Parmesan cheese, mayo if you don’t want butter, etc as you prefer. Some grind up hot Cheetos and that’s their thing, we don’t judge. Be happy and enjoy! I prefer a little salt and more black pepper. You do you!
one year back when i was still buying corn I did an experiment. I shucked and blanched 1/3, i peeled back the husks and removed the silks and replaced the husks on 1/3, and i shucked and didnt blanch 1/3. Froze them all. The hands down BEST way to freeze corn on the cob was shucking alone. Two years later it was still absolutely perfect.
The downside to not blanching vegetables before freezing them is that they lose nutrient value. Blanching inactivates the enzymes, which stops them from depleting nutrients. If your highest property is flavor, skip the blanching. If highest priority is nutrient value, go through the blanching process. Either is fine.
Hi Becky. We soak the husks and then pat them dry and layer them to get the width we need for tamales. It works really well. Maybe do an experiment with them next year? 😊
You want to go through corn...Mexican street corn casserole! I don't have room to freeze the ears, but freezing off the cob makes this casserole so easy. I'm addicted. I even eat the leftovers for breakfast...it's a grain, it works! Lol
I started gardening 2 years ago because you inspired me. It's been such a joy. It's all container gardening on my patio, but it works. Last year I wantted to make home grown salsa and grew as many of the ingredients as I could. This year it was marinara. I got 11 jars of it and its delicouse! Next year I think I'm going to to stir-fry and try growing cabbage.
Something you might like to try is my super simple corn salad. It is what my family enjoys most about fresh corn. Four ingredients, raw fresh corn cut from the cob, olive oil, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until very cold. You can even stick in the freezer for thirty minutes just before serving. It enhances the crunchiness. When I heard that Josh was snacking on the corn I thought he would enjoy this too. Also, I realize there is a temptation to add other ingredients and I have tried cilantro, chives, black beans etc but it really is best without those. I hope you’ll give it a try, I promise you’ll love it.
This is too late for you Becky, but for any of your viewers, if you pull off the husk from the "other" end, not the end with the silk sticking out but the other end, 98% of the silk comes off with the husk.
Becky...is am 67 years old but still love learning new things, especially in the kitchen. I wish you would give us a peek occasionally of your little one. If you don't want to do that, I totally understand, but I follow several youtubers who regularly show their audience their children. I have so enjoyed watching them grow along with their channel.
@@JanetRatch0108Hi Janet, I’m with you, but some You Tubers fear for the safety of their little ones. It’s strictly a personal decision. Becky has a pretty popular channel, so I’m sure she and Josh worry about that.😊 I too, love seeing how the little ones grow❤
Oooh! Becky!! That area by the bees?? It would make a good corn spot!! Just an idea! You could still put in vining beans in the cirn patch. Flowers around the patch. It could be your "3 Sisters" Patch. And it would be interesting for the bees.
Number 37 to like the video... and only one minute up! I have shared and now commenting...I just stopped by a side of the road stand and picked up a tonne of tomatoes... why you ask did I not grow them? LOL... I did...THEY are just starting to bloom.... Oh my word. So when salsa is needed, you do the next best thing... Hugs to you all from Esquimalt
Josh helping you is very sweet. My husband of 53 years has always helped me. I love you two and love your videos. We live on a farm so we get lots of corn and other vegetables.
I HIGHLY recommend roasting the corn cobs and making corn stock at least once. It's amazingly flavorful especially in chowder or to cook rice in. It's a family favorite
Ms. Becky, I really enjoy watching you pick lovely organic fruit and vegetables from your garden. I have even grown very fond of the flower arrangements that you place all around the house when you have dinner gatherings. You are very consistent with your routine and I can tell you truly are proud of the daily effort it takes to maintain a beautiful garden. **My daughter would love your garden because she wants to plant and grow EVERYTHING.**
Glad you posted this. There is so much amazing corn on the farmers markets here in Ondiana I was wishing I could do something to enjoy it longer. And now I am inspired!
I thought of you yesterday evening when I was in the garden harvesting my tomatoes into my wicker basket. Fun stuff!!! 😂 Thanks for taking the time to let us tag along in your garden with you… I use your experience(s) in tackling some of my garden woes. It helps to be able to glean from other people’s experiences whether successes or failures. Wishing you a spectacular week! Bye friend 👋
If you flash freeze vegetables on a cookie sheet and then vacuum seal them in the portion you want they don't come out in one huge clump. Makes a huge difference in cook time. And also if you only need say 1/2 cup of say onions you can measure out that amount and then but the rest back in the freezer.
Dear Becky & Josh I am in awe of the work you put into your increditable homestead, you are doing such a brilliant job (haha I feel exhausted just watching you some days 😉). You never cease to amaze me, all the knowledge you have!.... Well done to you both, you deserve all the success. Here's looking in from the Uk
I absolutely love canning. It’s my therapy. I’m Definitely going to make that corn relish next year. Thank you for sharing. You husband was so sweet to help.
You can blanch corn with the husks on and freeze it for grilling later. Corn on the cob in January is great. Love the video, was just watching another channel where they picked about 2000 ears.
Oh! A little tip specifically for corn? Touch of milk in cook water. The milk Protein stops the Starch Conversion. It was a Tip on a corn package for Burgundy Delight Seed, from the Stokes Seed Company. I have been doing it ever since. I made Corn Syrup last year. Masses of boiling!
For anyone who is interested, I googled Ball corn relish recipe and it popped up. I’m not sure if it’s the same as the one Becky is using, but it is from the Ball brand, so it’s probably close if not the same. It’s scaled down and does not include the clear help (for canning).There might be slightly different instructions if you plan on canning, but I’m almost positive they have that too.😊
I love fresh corn. I can remember my dad stopping and pick a cob off the field side row and we just munched on it as we drove home. Now you have to also remember that this period of time was before manditory seat belt wear or care seats. Im sure i was standing in the front seat in just a diaper and t-shirt. I know this sounds crazy but my mom used to use the hot wash cycle only on with the dish washer to blanch her corn lol you can get alot in the dish washer. Then cut off the cobb bagged with a pad or two of butter then freeze. Blessings
Hi Becky I love ❤️ you & your channel!! Advice to save the corn leaves/husks. Keep a glass or plastic bottle & use it to wrap the husks to keep the shape!! Example use like a 2 little soda bottle!! 🤗😘🥰 Enjoy them!! 🦋
Peas, corn, diced beans and carrots are all fantastic freeze dried. You can mix a bunch together and just toss a half a cup into a stew and it's great!
Hi Becky. My aunt and uncle have all their lives grown a huge garden. They grew tons of corn. Another great way they got the corn off the cobs is to use their electric knife!! Amazing results and much quicker!! Amazing how busy you always are! Dont forget to take care of yourself hydrating and relaxing in between! Nice work!!!
I grew up in corn country. There is nothing better than freshly picked corn! We had a corn farmer right behind our house. Mom would send us over just before dinner to buy a couple dozen ears of corn. Yummy!!!
Hi Becky. I love your channel. AND I love how you are so efficient in the kitchen. You sure get it done! I was thinking that with all the chopping and dicing you do, you’d really put the Breville Paradice food processor to good use. It’s very expensive, but boy could you ever use one. It does a regular food processing duties BUT also has discs for small, medium and large dicing. I used my Amazon points that I’ve been saving for a couple of years to get one since i’ve had several hand surgeries and chopping and dicing has become difficult and awkward. Check it out - you deserve one. You’re an impressive young woman and I always look forward to your videos. Thanks.
Every April in Palm Beach County, FL they have a corn festival. The corn is from “The Glades” and is so sweet and delicious it’s like eating candy! I think I’ll get a basket next year and preserve it and share with my DIL. 🌽 😋
That’s ME!!! I sent you the corn peeler! I’ve LITERALLY been waiting all year for corn season for you to use it 😊 It’s AMAZING!!! Glad it’s a timesaver for you too! 🌽🌽
Oh my gosh!! Thanks you so much!! I LOVE it :)

Hi All … from Waterford Ireland😀 ☘️🇮🇪☘️
Hello from Ennis in Co. Clare.😊😊😊
@@ChristineKelly1000 Hi ~ from North Carolina USA :)
Hello from Michigan 🥰
We always had to put up 52 of everything, so we had one for each week.

Becky something to remember is you can always put two small husks together. A little masa like glue and then make your tamales 🫔.
I wish I could focus on this many things as you do at one time
Using more than one seems like the way to go
Holy Cow Becky & Josh… you both are incredible people and make everything seem like it’s second nature. Just wanted to say thank you for finding the time and making the effort to share your amazing journey ❤

That’s great❤
I didn't have great success either and was told to plant a minimum of 4 rows for proper pollination. When I did that, I had success. I grew antique blue corn and Strawberry corn as well as Honey & Cream for fresh eating. I gave the Blue corn and Strawberry corn in little decorated paper bags in my gift baskets for Christmas with instructions for making popped corn with them IN the little paper bags.

The beans grow up the corn stalks, the squash shades the earth so there is less evaporation and the three plants have a symbiotic relationship to each other called companion planting and they actually grow better together than apart. The beans are nitrogen fixing and the corn are heavy feeders, so the circle of life continues. Blanching stops the sugars from turning into starch, so your corn stays sweet and doesn't become bland.
I processed over 300 ears this year and that little gadget is worth its weight in gold!!!!😊
Becky you can put 2 corn husks together to make your tamales try it you have nothing to lose
Last weekend I preserved and froze the kernels from 144 ears of corn. It really whooped me but my family will surely appreciate it and so will my Thanksgiving dinner guests. 😮💨😩💕
I don't say a lot, but I truly appreciate watching you and your family!
I love seeing the chickens get their treats!
Don't forget to run the back of a spoon down the scraped cob to get all of the liquid pulp from the cob. Pure goodness!
I blanched, removed off the cob and freeze dried corn with nothing (so salt, no sugar, no anything). It turned out absolutely delicious. Using it for snacks and for rehydrating and frying up in butter for supper.

I like that corn cutter! I also like to stand the corn up in the hole in an angel food cake pan and let the corn fall in the pan.
My dad (would have been 103 today) always helped mom on weekends in the kitchen. They were a great team!
You can lay 2 or 3 (or, however many you need) corn husks a little over each other to make your tamales with.

I love watching you and Josh working together on project.
Hey girl 😊 happy to see ya ❤
Se you said a very productive day Fresh corn is so good Mu favorite is Silver Queen.❤.
I saved and dried the corn silk for tea one year. Pretty good stuff.
Dear Becky & Josh I am in awe of the work you put into your increditable homestead, you are doing such a brilliant job (haha I feel exhausted just watching you some days 😉). You never cease to amaze me, all the knowledge you have!.... Well done to you both, you deserve all the success. Here's looking in from the Uk
Woo hoo, Becky time! 😊
I was thinking the same! Woohoo!
I love watching you do the things you do.😊
It’s so nice to see you working as a team! The old adage many hands make light work is true!
That corn relish sounds delicious, and the colors are so pretty.
Good to see Josh with you. He answered an email for me and I told him I miss seeing him sometimes. Loved this video, Becky!
I absolutely love canning. It’s my therapy. I’m
Definitely going to make that corn relish next year. Thank you for sharing. You husband was so sweet to help.
Yeayyyyyy I’m here early today. Learning so much from you girl. Love from Italy 🇮🇹
i have been absolutely loving that josh has been able to help you this preservation season !!!! i love your little family so much 🩷
You can blanch corn with the husks on and freeze it for grilling later. Corn on the cob in January is great. Love the video, was just watching another channel where they picked about 2000 ears.
Oh wow. Thats a lot of corn. Last year I canned 300 ears of corn I can only imagine 2000. Wow.
Oh! A little tip specifically for corn?
Touch of milk in cook water.
The milk Protein stops the Starch Conversion.
It was a Tip on a corn package for Burgundy Delight Seed, from the Stokes Seed Company.
I have been doing it ever since.
I made Corn Syrup last year. Masses of boiling!
Thanks Becky!
Josh is such a sweetheart!!! ❤
Oh man! You and family delicious "Well Water"!!! 😍 You are True blessed
For anyone who is interested, I googled Ball corn relish recipe and it popped up. I’m not sure if it’s the same as the one Becky is using, but it is from the Ball brand, so it’s probably close if not the same. It’s scaled down and does not include the clear help (for canning).There might be slightly different instructions if you plan on canning, but I’m almost positive they have that too.😊
Becky, you always inspire me and I'm thankful for your channel! Cheers to that😊
I love fresh corn. I can remember my dad stopping and pick a cob off the field side row and we just munched on it as we drove home. Now you have to also remember that this period of time was before manditory seat belt wear or care seats. Im sure i was standing in the front seat in just a diaper and t-shirt. I know this sounds crazy but my mom used to use the hot wash cycle only on with the dish washer to blanch her corn lol you can get alot in the dish washer. Then cut off the cobb bagged with a pad or two of butter then freeze. Blessings
Hi Becky I love ❤️ you & your channel!! Advice to save the corn leaves/husks. Keep a glass or plastic bottle & use it to wrap the husks to keep the shape!! Example use like a 2 little soda bottle!! 🤗😘🥰 Enjoy them!! 🦋
Wow…… learning every vlog from you. Had no idea Tamales were made from corn husks 👏👏👏. Thanks. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Tamales are wrapped in corn husk
Love a good harvest preservation video!
A Ball electric water bath canner can sit right next to your sink and has a spigot. Frees up your stove top. I love mine.
Help is awesome!
Just love seeing you and Josh working together in the kitchen❤
Peas, corn, diced beans and carrots are all fantastic freeze dried. You can mix a bunch together and just toss a half a cup into a stew and it's great!
If you scrape the cob after cutting kernels off, it makes really nice creamed corn!
Wow, great teamwork, Josh & Becky! Thanks for sharing! 🤗🇨🇦
Thank you, looking great 😊
Hi Becky. My aunt and uncle have all their lives grown a huge garden. They grew tons of corn. Another great way they got the corn off the cobs is to use their electric knife!! Amazing results and much quicker!! Amazing how busy you always are! Dont forget to take care of yourself hydrating and relaxing in between! Nice work!!!
Corn farmers pull some of the larger husks off when picking. Maybe ask if they have larger ones for you.
I canned this Corn Relish recipe last year. It’s excellent!
I’d love to see your compost system. You do great work. It’s impressive
She doesn't do anything fancy at this point. She has areas in the woods she dumps the scraps.
I grew up in corn country. There is nothing better than freshly picked corn! We had a corn farmer right behind our house. Mom would send us over just before dinner to buy a couple dozen ears of corn. Yummy!!!
Yay!! Hi Becky, I've been waiting so patiently for the preservation videos!! Xx
Hi Becky. I love your channel. AND I love how you are so efficient in the kitchen. You sure get it done! I was thinking that with all the chopping and dicing you do, you’d really put the Breville Paradice food processor to good use. It’s very expensive, but boy could you ever use one. It does a regular food processing duties BUT also has discs for small, medium and large dicing. I used my Amazon points that I’ve been saving for a couple of years to get one since i’ve had several hand surgeries and chopping and dicing has become difficult and awkward. Check it out - you deserve one. You’re an impressive young woman and I always look forward to your videos. Thanks.
So happy to see Josh in the kitchen I love y’all you to work so great together
Hi Becky.!
Every April in Palm Beach County, FL they have a corn festival. The corn is from “The Glades” and is so sweet and delicious it’s like eating candy! I think I’ll get a basket next year and preserve it and share with my DIL. 🌽 😋
Make corn stock from the cobs. It is delicious! I use it in chili, various soups, corn bread, etc.
Tackling I think is the word you're looking for. 🌻
