Steps:
- Using an electic knife or a serrated knife remove the corn kernels from the cob (I use an electric knife for this, it takes less time).
- Place the corn kernels in a large pot; add in water to cover the corn then add in 1 tablespoon salt (add in more water to cover the kernels if needed).
- Bring to a full boil, the reduce heat and boil ONLY until the kernels turn a darker yellow (about 2 minutes, this will not take long).
- Place in a large strainer and rinse under very cold water or plunge into a bowl of ice water.
- Shaking the strainer strain out as much water as possible.
- Mix in 1/2 cup sugar using a wooden spoon until combined with the niblets (this creates a sugar-pac and helps preserve the corn and keeps the corn crisp while freezing).
- Spread the sugar-coated kernels onto a large 15 x 10-inch baking sheet then freeze until completely frozen.
- Place in freezer bags or vacum pac.

Steps:
- Husk and clean corn on the cob. Cut kernels off uncooked cobs. Add raw corn kernels, sugar, salt, butter and water to large kettle. Bring to a gentle boil. Simmer 10 minutes. Ladle into freezer bags. Freeze flat until firm. Thaw before using. Ladle corn and a little juice into freezer bags. Lay bags flat on a baking sheet. Freeze until firm. Store corn bags in a box like you would file papers in a filing cabinet. This saves lots of room in the freezer and keeps the corn all in one place. I love card board boxes, they work perfect for this. Sweet corn from the freezer tastes just like delicious buttered and salted corn right off the cob!
Tips:
- Select the Right Corn: Choose fresh, sweet corn with plump kernels. Avoid corn that is dry, wilted, or has signs of damage.
- Blanching is Essential: Blanching helps preserve the corn's color, flavor, and nutrients. Make sure to blanch the corn for the recommended time to achieve the best results.
- Cool Corn Properly: After blanching, it's crucial to cool the corn quickly to stop the cooking process. Quickly transfer the corn to an ice bath or cold water to maintain its鮮度 and texture.
- Choose the Right Storage Bags: Use freezer-safe bags or containers that are specifically designed for freezing. These bags help protect the corn from freezer burn and maintain its quality.
- Label and Date: To keep track of your frozen corn, label the storage bags or containers with the date you froze them. This will help you keep track of how long the corn has been in the freezer.
