What You Need:
|
14 cups |
fresh corn on the cob, approximately 24-30 ears of corn |
|
3/4 cup |
sugar |
|
1/8 cup |
salt |
|
7 cups |
water |
| Plastic sealable freezer bags |
Preparation for Freezing Corn:
| Peel back the husk removing it from the corn cob. |  |
| Break or cut off any excess corn stalk. |  |
| Remove the thin silk that runs along the kernels of the corn. Remove excess silk with a vegetable brush or with a damp paper towel. |  |
| Remove kernels by standing the ear of corn upright on a cutting board or inside a pan that can be used to catch the corn as it is cut off. Using a sharp utility or chef's knife, cut the kernels straight down along the corn cob to free numerous rows of kernels at the same time. |

  | |
| Place 14 cups of prepared corn into a large stock pot. Add sugar and salt. | |
  | |
| Slowly pour in 7 cups of water. Adjust amount of water to just cover corn. Stir. | |
| Bring corn mixture to a boil. Boil 1-5 minutes to desired tenderness. |
 |
| Allow corn to cool. Spreading corn onto a large cookie sheet will cool the corn quicker. |
