Ingredients
- 12 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 6 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
1. Husk the corn and remove all the silk. Rinse the ears of corn under cold running water.
Step 2
2. Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off each ear of corn. Hold the cob vertically over a large mixing bowl to catch the kernels as you slice downward.
Step 3
3. In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
Step 4
4. Add the sugar and salt to the boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved.
Step 5
5. Add the corn kernels to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the corn for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
6. Remove the pot from heat and allow the corn mixture to cool to room temperature.
Step 7
7. Once cooled, ladle the corn along with some of the cooking liquid into airtight, freezer-safe containers or resealable freezer bags. Leave about 1 inch of headspace at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
Step 8
8. Seal the containers or bags, pressing out any excess air. Label with the date and freeze immediately.
Step 9
9. To use, remove the desired portion from the freezer and thaw in the fridge or reheating medium (such as a saucepan or microwave) until warmed through.
