Farm Fresh: Popcorn

 This week's harvest - popcorn! 
 We grew this from seeds we saved last year. Remember that corn that we picked up at the Pilgrim Festival?  It popped so nicely. I was not sure that the seeds from it would grow the same variety, but I figured it was worth a try. I left it hanging out on the stalks while I was waiting for it to dry. 
 It all popped and some kernels were a little golden.  They tasted sort of crunchy like Kix cereal -- possibly those kernels were a bit on the moist side?  I am not sure why that happened, but the results were delicious.

We harvested enough kernels from our little corn patch to fill my gallon jar. I will try to plant more of it next year.
