Make your own frozen corn from fresh sweet corn easily with this recipe. The corn tastes just as fresh as the day that it was frozen and is crisp and super sweet with a buttery flavor. It's a great way to preserve that summery goodness.
18 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked and silks removed
1⁄2 c. butter, melted
4 qt. water
1 t. salt
6 ziploc freezer bags
Bring water and salt to a slow boil; place whole cobs in boiling water; cook corn in batches; boiling for 4 minutes for each batch.
Place a hand towel in a large bowl; place a colander on top of the hand towel inside the bowl; put the cooked corn cobs in the colander standing on ends to allow the water to run down and thru the colander slots. The cobs will dry and cool much faster this way.
Using an angel food cake pan, place an ear on center and begin cutting kernels off so they fall into the pan. Repeat for all ears.
Pour butter over kernels; mix well.
Ladle about 2 c. cooled corn into each bag; squeeze all air out; seal; then push to flatten each bag. Write the date on the outside of the bag with a marker.
Freeze flat on a cookie sheet to keep each bag flat; stack to store in freezer.
To use, defrost in the microwave; serve.
The corn is good for up to a year.
Makes 4 servings per bag-6 bags.
