Summer Rambo Apples

Rambour Franc is a 16th century heirloom apple of French origin that became popular in the American colonies.  The apple was referred to as Summer Rambour in this country and changed to Summer Rambo by the 1850’s.  With a bushel of Summer Rambo on my porch, I will be using them in receipts (recipes).

Three folded, and filled packets of green corn bread were prepared from one ear of Puhwem (Lenape white flour corn) in the green or milk stage.  The bread requires two leaves from the corn plant filled with the flavorful, milky green corn scraped from the cob.  The bread will bake in the embers of the main fire.

After all the milky kernels have been cut from the ear of Puhwem green corn (Lenape white flour corn in the green or milk stage), leaves from the plant are harvested and filled and folded per the account recorded by John Heckewelder to make green corn bread.

When Puhwem (Lenape white flour corn) is green corn the kernels are filled with milky white juices that are concentrated corn flavor.  I am using my jaspar knife to remove the kernels from the cob to prepare green corn bread.  Note all the splatters of “milk” in my bowl and on my finger.

After the silks of the Puhwem (Lenape white flour corn) in the green or milk stage were harvested for drying, the green husks were carefully put back in place and tied with a piece of a corn leaf.  In the foreground of the picture, two ears are soaking, one is tied and in the trade kettle boiling and one is tied and roasting supported by a roasting stick.

The silks harvested from the Puhwem (Lenape white flour corn) were placed in a grape vine basket on my drying rack for drying.

After husking the Puhwem (Lenape white flour corn) in the green stage, the silks are harvested.  The silks are full of nutrients.  There is one silk for pollinating each kernel from the tassels of the corn stalks.  If a kernel is not developed on an ear, it did not get pollinated.
