OK, . . . grind it up, . . . make corn meal mush, . . . fry it into taco's, . . . make corn bread.

Also make hominy.

Now, . . . what else can we do with a 55 gallon drum of nice purty yaller field corn????

Inquiring minds want to know, . . .

Seriously, . . . put your thinking caps on, because this really is a great source of carbs, . . . just gotta get em unlocked from the kernel.

They say there is enough corn syrup in one bushel of field corn to sweeten almost 400 cans of pop. If that is the case, . . . we should know how to unlock at least some of that food potential, . . . in case the SHTF scenario becomes defacto.

May God bless,
Dwight

Of course you can make Injun Fry Bread, white whiskey, make a paste of the meal to suck out the poison of a bee sting and any number of other things. But for me, doing anything with it beyond eating it off the cob is a waste of good corn!

Corn is the single best grain there is. Period. End of story.

Corn jelly doesn't sound very good.

Burn it in my pellet stove. Mixed 50/50 with hardwood pellets so it still self-ignites. Burns much hotter than the pellets and leaves nothing but fine ash, easily cleaned. Too expensive to burn right now. If the Damned government would remove the ethanol subsidies I'd be back to burning it, as the price for corn would plummet.

If I invest that much time and sugar into making jelly, . . . stinkin' hogs an' deer ain't gettin' it, . . . and you CAN write that down in your little black book :D

Besides, . . . once the bread is toasted and buttered, . . . any old jelly is good, . . . although red raspberry jam is hard to beat for just plain ol' goodness.

I suppose you could give a deer a piece of toast with corn jelly... The deer around here seem to prefer a bagel with cream cheese.
