What each ingredient does
- Ears of corn
- Provide the kernels that are blanched, dried, and stored for winter use.
The step that matters
Drying the corn thoroughly. Corn left with residual moisture can mold or spoil in storage. Drying until fully dry before bagging keeps the kernels stable through winter.
