Dehydrated Corn


So, instead of doing freezer corn this time, I decided to try something a little different. I dehydrated it! I think it will be perfect to throw in soups or stews, but we probably won't reconstitute it and eat it just as a side dish.



First, I shucked it, of course. :) Then boiled it for three minutes.





And then I put it into a bowl of ice water.




Next, I cut it off the cob and spread it out on my dehydrating trays.




I filled my dehydrator last night and this morning the corn was all dried and looked great!







The last thing I did was put the corn in jars (it filled a 1/2 gallon jar and a pint jar) and vacuum sealed them! Ta da! I am so excited about this! I can open them up whenever I make soup or stew this winter and sprinkle some corn right into my pot and then vacuum seal the lid right back on! Nice!


Oh, the things that make me happy. . . :)
