Krogh Family Farms Discovers New Recipe!

In the same box where I found the recipe for corn cob sweetened spread, tucked away in the back was another recipe.  Grandma’s recipe box was quite large!  To my amazement this recipe was for maple syrup.  Everyone knows that in order to make maple syrup you need sap from Sugar Maple Trees.  What is different about this syrup?  It is made from corn cobs!

I did some research and discovered that the people who moved to the Midwest in the early days found that there were no Sugar Maple Trees to make maple syrup.

I made the syrup according to the recipe and when I tasted it for the first time I was astounded by the rich flavor.  It was not overpowering with sweetness as maple syrup can be.  The flavor reminded me of sweet molasses; however there is no molasses in it.

I was curious to what other people would think about the flavor so I had my daughter Tori (10 years) and my son Chris (8 years) try it out.  Tori said it was very good, way better than maple syrup.  Chris gave it 2 thumbs up!  He really enjoys it with his French toast.

This product can also be used on pancakes, corn bread, ice cream, coffee, waffles, oatmeal, aebleskivers, baked beans and even meats such as pork.

With the help of the University of Nebraska Food Entrepreneur Program, we tested the syrup for safety and nutrition.  We found that since we are utilizing all natural ingredients we are able to put 100% natural on the label, and that is what people today are looking for.

In order to get the cobs we must take the following steps to ensure a good crop.  We begin by fertilizing the soil to ready the field for planting.  Once the corn is planted and has grown to approximately 3” in height we attach the rotary hoe onto the tractor and hoe the corn.  This step is not only for weed control but it aerates the soil as well.  When the corn reaches a height of roughly 10” we cultivate it again for weed control and to loosen the soil to promote a good root system. 

The corn begins to tassel around July.  At this time we pray for rain!  A nice rain when the corn is fully tasseled ensures good pollination.

When harvest time arrives in the fall we hook the corn picker up to the tractor and get the wagons ready to go.  As the corn is harvested it goes into a corn crib by an elevator.  The corn is kept there until next summer giving it time to dry naturally.  The following summer when the corn is fully dry it goes into the sheller which separates the corn from the cob.  The corn goes in one wagon and the cobs into another.  Once the cob wagon is full we pull it into the building where the cobs are separated by color.  The cobs are then placed in onion bags, each bag weighing 15 pounds.  From there they are stacked on pallets ready to be delivered to the co-packer.

After processing the cobs for our syrup, the remaining components are scattered into the fields from which they were grown.  This process puts nutrients back into the soil, which is the Krogh Family Farms way of giving back what we take from the earth.

There is a little history on the label.  The International Super M tractor with the mounted John Deere Corn Picker is what my father, Charles Krogh, used when I was a little boy.  I used to help him unload the corn into the elevator, I found great joy helping dad!  His work ethic has taught me to do a good job, do it right and to be passionate with what I do.
