Freezing sweet corn
Froze another 12 bags of sweet corn this morning. It goes to our married grandkids - their little kids are crazy about it.
Have cold water in sink & add a chunk of ice. I don’t use ice cubes, they disappear too fast. This time of the year I keep big ice chunks in the freezer in plastic containers that hold about 2 quarts.
10 to 11 cups fresh corn cut off the cobs
6 Tblsp real butter (cut in thin slices so it melts quicker)
Almost 1 Tblsp salt
Almost 2 Tblsps white sugar
1 cup boiling water
Bring to rapid boil, back off heat but keep boiling for 3 to 3.5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit just a bit. Set pan of corn in ice water, test it slowly so water doesn’t come over sides of pan, release some water if necessary. Stir now and then, then leave it until the heat is gone. Cool corn completely & measure into freezer bags. Flatten the bags to save freezer space.
I’ve explained in detail for those that have never done frozen corn.
