indian Corn

[CrealCritter]

I love corn...unfortunately we don't eat a lot of corn products. However I've got some of that colored corn seed that a generous person sent me (thanks again) that I fully intend to plant and harvest and make my own corn cakes and corn bread out of. Eternal optimist and spring is only a couple months away!

I hope your comes to and you get plenty.of big ears.

I call those cornmeal pancakes, the recipe is faintly different.

I make hot water cornbread. It's cornmeal and boiling water to make a paste. You can add either salt or sugar, chopped onion, jalapeno, cream corn...…..but the basic is cornmeal and boiling water.

Patty up or do a drop from a spoon into hot fat. Fry on both sides and eat!

you mean like like hush puppies?

Kinda sounds like hushpuppies that I make, but without any leavening agent to make them light and fluffy.

Not hush puppies.

I'm loving this thread! I bought Gem corn from Baker Creek and grew it. https://www.rareseeds.com/glass-gem-corn-/

It's gorgeous, but I saved for seed. Maybe next year I will have enough to try making something with it.

What's left for storage after grinding a bunch of guarts and giving it away to some of the family.

My wife said to put these little moisture sucking packets in each jar, so I did. The kernels are very dry now, hopefully they will stay that way.

Those are for removing Oxygen, they will hep prevent molding and help the jars seal.

Hopefully I'll do better next year now that I kind of know what to expect. Very easy corn to grow but it get very tall so I'll have to stake the ends of the rows and use baling twine to help support it.
