At some point, between this....

....and this....
 |
| Yes, that's corn - OFF the cob! |
|
|
....I became a slacker with the camera and failed to photograph the ears just after they had been gathered!
The Husband used this handy appliance....
 |
| Have you seen one of these? |
|
|
....and the ears of corn soon were ready to become this....
 |
| Cream style corn! |

There were about a dozen ears that yielded about four cups of prepared cream style corn. It is now in the freezer, but that isn't nearly enough! We will be hoping for much more before the growing season is finished. This is a favorite around here, and it has been part of our Thanksgiving dinner for a number of years.
I hope you are enjoying this Labor Day holiday, a day off from work for many. Do you have some enjoyable plans with family and friends? We actually aren't working with corn today, but did this one day last week.:-)
Thank you for reading. I really appreciate your comments.
Nellie, My twin daughters got together and put up corn last week. When I think about that, I have to laugh. Those girls loved corn more than any other veggie. This is how they ate it. I would make fried chicken, mashed potatoes and corn. they would put the corn on top of the potatoes. Always ! Hope you and your husband enjoy your corn one of those cold days, that you know we will have this coming winter. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteI love fresh cream style corn. I used to put up a lot of frozen corn in years gone by. It is a lot of work, but so worth it.
ReplyDeleteHappy laborless labor day.
ReplyDeleteI love that tool that your husband uses. Jeff may need one too.

ReplyDeleteI've never seen one of those tools. We love creamed corn too. Today will be a no-labor Labor Day here too
ReplyDeleteHi Nellie , love corn any way you shuck it . My sisters and I will be making corn relish later this week . Have a great Labor Day . Thanks for sharing :).
ReplyDeleteThat corn will be greatly enjoyed by everyone at your lovely home for that Thanksgiving dinner! You and The Husband have worked very hard this summer, and I'm sure you will enjoy the fruits of your labors in the coming months, as will many others who visit you. Have a wonderful day! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like cream style corn, especially with potato scallop, but I love sweet corn on the cob with butter and a wee sprinkle of salt.
ReplyDeleteDarn, I got it all wrong. I thought that Labor Day meant that I was supposed to work hard, you know...by the labor of your brow...
Happy Labor Day.
Hugs,
JB
Oh Nellie this looks wonderful! I can just see how tasty that will be this winter! Yumm!
ReplyDeleteHope ou're enjoying your Labor Day!
Blessings,

No plans around here, but that corn looks delicious! I remember picking corn and shucking it with my grandparents. Granny always made cream style corn and it was SO GOOD!
ReplyDeleteI've never made creamed corn, but in years past we used to get corn by the hundreds to freeze!
ReplyDeleteHappy Labor Day!
OH MY WORD! That looks so good. xox
ReplyDeleteWe've had the best corn this year and I am so happy. I love fresh corn on the cob and I am sure your creamed corn is delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love fresh corn,Nellie, and the local farms here have been providing the stores with very sweet ears. I pre boiled and froze many for the winter months. Your creamed version looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteYour plant is doing well.
Oh Nellie, I LOVE creamed corn. I also use in my corned bread. Makes it nice and moist. Yummy. Susan
ReplyDeleteI can't begin to tell you how much I miss the time our family spent shucking corn at my grandmother's house. I am sure at the time I thought it nothing more than menial labor but oh, what I wouldn't give to go back in time to sit with my relatives and share this chore with them!
