Sweet Corn

Farmers Market Sweet Corn

Klosters have spent August freezing sweet corn for as long as I can remember.  This labor of corn shucking love is a long standing tradition.  Honestly, there is nothing like fresh home grown corn.  Freezing a bunch for a mid-winter pick me up is brilliant! This year I shucked (ahhh...actually Erick did the shucking), cooked, cut, bagged and froze 7 dozen cobs of corn.  I will spend my winter in a corn heaven...spoken like a sick mid western gal.  If you do this you will be so happy that you did, trust me.
