Putting up vegetables

Tis  the season.      Yesterday's I sliced and dehydrated zucchini.  Seven good sized zucchini fit into a quart bag....-and it's not full.  

Today, we are going to get corn ready for the freezer.   My husband bought twenty ears while I was in a PT session.   They were .25 each.

We should have enough to ration it out all winter.   We have a small freezer.  

Any little thing that saves your  grocery dollars helps.   Take tiny steps.....pretty soon you have climbed a mountain.  


Corn on cob purchased for .25 at Winco.  




Shuck it. and  rinse.   



Meanwhile, boil lightly salted water . 


Blanch ( boil for three minutes ) and remove with a slotted item in or tongs.   

Plunge in ice water to stop the cooking process.  

Blanched con sitting on a dollar store tray.   


When cooled, bad in meal sized portions in quart bags, the bag the bags in a gallon bag.  

Freeze.   

Total timer 1 hour.   

Meals 13.  Cost 5.00.  Cost in store 3.29 for 2 ears.   

Savings 85 percent.
