Preserving Corn

Our local Food Lion stores run a really good sale on fresh corn in shucks once a year and it was this past week.  We've been traveling and didn't get home until Friday night so we had to do some creative managing of our time in order to take advantage of this sale, which ended midnight last night. In other words we had to turn a blind eye to all the other things that were screaming at us to get done as a result of us of being out of town.  

We purchased 4 boxes of corn still in their shucks yesterday and worked and worked and worked until late last night to get it all preserved.  After sharing some with others, we added 60 ears of corn on the cob and 14 quarts of cream style corn to the freezer part of our pantry.  

We don't really have the garden space to grow corn so this was a sale that we just couldn't pass up if we wanted corn in our pantry.  

Taking advantage of produce sales is a good way to keep your pantry well-stocked when growing it is not an option!

When it comes to keeping my pantry well-stocked, I carefully consider all my options!

She looketh well to the ways of her household … Proverbs 31:27

My pantry is intentional, purposeful, simple, practical, frugal and what works for my family.  It’s the food items and household supplies that keep my household running smoothly ready and available when they are needed.  It’s my contribution to our family’s economy and my work-from-home ‘job.'
