Corn Picking Tips, Recipes and Information
Corn reaches it's peak sweetness and flavor when the kernels are
full, and just touching each other, like a good set of teeth!
They should not be bloated and smushed so tightly that there is no
space left at all. The bloated overripe ears will have a bland,
starchy taste.
Here's what to look for:
The tips of the silks coming out
of the ear should be a light brown.
If you break a kernel with your fingernail, the liquid
should be slightly milky in color.
The ears should be filled out and
have developed good girth but not bloated.
Harvesting
To harvest, snap off the ears by hand with a quick, firm,
downward push; then twist and pull.
Avoid twisting or yanking
the ears, as this can damage the stalk or the ear itself.
Storing the corn
Corn is at its prime eating quality on the stalk for only 72 hours before
becoming over mature. The most important factor is cooling it as soon
as possible after harvesting it. Get it into the fridge or
cover it with ice! Many farmers say you should remove the shucks
right away, too. I've found that removing most of the shuck,
but leaving a few leaves to cover each ear is best to prevent the
kernels from drying out.
See this page
for more about storing corn before using it.
The worst mistake people make is overcooking corn. In fact,
corn isn't really cooked; it's just heated up. If you cook it form
more than a few minutes (3 minutes), then you are simply breaking
down the sugars and turning a nice, crisp sweet ear into bland mush.
It's not a pot roast; the purpose of heating it is NOT to break
down the cells, just to heat them to bring out the flavor and melt
the butter!
Here's how to cook the corn:
Fill a large pot (large enough so the shucked ears can fit
inside, laying down) about 2/3 full of water and start bring it
to a boil
Shuck the ears, and snap off the stalk end and the very tip
of ear (especially if you will use "corn stickers" , (handles)
to hold the ears.
When everyone is sitting down at the table and you are
serving the rest of the meal, put the corn in the boiling water
and set the time for 3 minutes.
After 3 minutes, using tongs, retrieve the ears and serve
them with butter (Corn boats are wonderful for corn!
Freezing Corn
You can easily freeze the sweet corn and have that great taste in
the dead of winter!
