I still do and it works great! One of the canning jar makers, Ball?, used to make screw on plastic lids (yes I know, plastic again), and they were wonderful for this kind of thing, and reusable. I haven't seen them for years, unfortunately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-86432651457780373762007-10-30T14:51:00.000-07:002007-10-30T14:51:00.000-07:00I would think the U district would have fresh pick...I would think the U district would have fresh picked corn.

I went to the West Seattle market last Sun, but don't remember seeing any corn. I could be wrong too. Maybe there is a way of obtaining a list of vendors and you could call them. <BR/><BR/>Well, I realize this isn't much help. =) Good luck finding some fresh corn. How'd the corn from you garden do? Were you able to harvest any?Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268234134454049531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-27754825633266424382007-10-30T09:38:00.000-07:002007-10-30T09:38:00.000-07:00Wait, why do you have to remove air?

I bought a lot of orange roma tomatoes at the farmer's market a couple weeks ago and froze them (unwashed, so they'd be dry on the outside) in a plastic bag with as much air "pushed" out as possible. Hmm, was that an "oops"?emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606383925039280619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-51946229910603811522007-10-30T08:12:00.000-07:002007-10-30T08:12:00.000-07:00I froze a bunch of corn about a month ago, we have...I froze a bunch of corn about a month ago, we haven't had corn in our area for about that long.

The season for fresh has come to an end, at least here in our neck of the woods (eastern Kansas), and I had completely intended to put some by this year.

My wife and I have done the same thing but added a buttery water broth to chase out the air. That way you can just heat the good stuff up and serve it.<BR/><BR/>Hank Will<BR/>Editor, GRIT MagazineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-46033703254944271942007-10-30T05:30:00.000-07:002007-10-30T05:30:00.000-07:00Hey!Is there any way you can do this without using...Hey!<BR/><BR/>Is there any way you can do this without using evil ziplock bags that break after not very long and then are treated as disposable?
