BEST EVER WAY TO FREEZE SWEET CORN
A farmer friend of ours taught me the way to freeze sweet corn and enjoy it like it was just picked in the middle of the winter. It's very simple and all you need is freezer room, ziploc bags and water!!!!!! He would drop off a large sack of corn to us when it was in season and we would have it all winter. I have tried freezing corn every which way and it always tastes 'soggy'. This way keeps the corn incredibly crisp!!! Enjoy!!

HOW TO FREEZE FRESH CORN
I developed this way to freeze corn when other methods came out watery, mushy or tasteless. The butter puts a seal around the kernels the lets it keep crunch and the flavor in. I do about 2-3 batches per year and it keeps me through to next season. Number of ears will vary depending on size.

Steps:
- Bring water and salt to a slow boil, cook corn in batches, boiling for 4 minutes each batch.
- Transfer cooked ears to a dish towel, allow to drain and cool until easily handled (this is how you keep the corn from being too watery).
- Using an angel food cake pan, place ear on center and begin cutting kernels off so they fall into the pan. Then angle knife slightly to get the small bits out of the ears. Repeat until pan is full or all ears are cut.
- Pour butter over kernels and mix well (this gives each kernel its own seal).
- Put about 2 cups of corn into individual bags. Squeeze all the air out, seal then push to flatten each bag.
- Freeze flat on a cookie sheet to keep each bag flat, then stack to store in freezer.
- Corn will be good for up to a year, to use, defrost in the microwave and serve.
