Tag : frozen sweet corn
Sweet corn is summer in your mouth and on your chin and runningdown your forearms. For people who eagerly await the summer-onlycrop of sweet corn, preferably fresh from the roaster and dipped inbutter, this weekend brings two glorious opportunities to fill upon the treat.
Just don't wear your fancy, dry-cleanable duds if you want to enjoythe full savory experience, cautions Jessie Jones of Camp Verde.
She's administrative assistant for the Camp Verde Parks &Recreation Department, which is throwing its 17th annual Cornfeston Saturday, complete with plenty of napkins and toothpicks.
In Willcox, Apple Annie's Produce & Pumpkins will present its SweetCorn Extravaganza on Saturday and Sunday.
"Everything we grow here has a higher sugar content," said AppleAnnie's namesake Anne Holcomb, crediting Willcox's elevation of4,300 feet, sunshine-filled days and nighttime temperatures as lowas the 50s.
She and her husband, John, opened Apple Annie's Orchard in 1986 anda produce farm about 6 miles away in 2003.
Their son, Matt, started planting sweet corn April 10, adding moreevery four days to produce a crop ready for picking each morningfrom June 26 to early October.
Sweet corn grows on 20 acres of the farm and is harvested whileimmature and creamy, unlike other varieties that are picked whenthe kernels are dry. For the best taste, sweet corn should be eatensoon after picking or frozen for use later, Anne said.
Visitors to the Sweet Corn Extravaganza can eat it on the spot,roasted, dipped in butter and sprinkled with the topping of theirchoice, as well as buy it fresh from the fields to take home. Theyalso can pick and purchase other produce, including green beans,summer squash and peppers.
"Kids have so much fun going out in the field and pickingvegetables and seeing that food grows on plants, not on the groceryshelf," Anne Holcomb said.
The corn that will be roasted at Camp Verde's Cornfest is grown atHauser & Hauser Farms, a fixture for six generations.
"They grow the best sweet corn in northern Arizona," said Jones,the parks department spokeswoman.
