Equipment

  • freezer

Ingredients

  • 8 Corn Cobs
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

  • Husk your corn on the cob and remove the silks. Trim dry ends or tops.
  • Cut the ear of corn in half for easier storage. This step is optional but I like smaller ears because they store a little easier and are quick to reheat.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Stir in salt and sugar.
  • Add the corn to the pot and boil for 1 minute.
  • Remove the corn and immediately plunge in an ice water bath to stop the cooking.
  • Allow the corn to cool in the ice bath before transferring to a paper towel to dry.
  • Place the corn on the cob in a freezer bag and press out as much air as possible.
  • Label and store the corn in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Notes

1 ear of corn yields about 1/2 cup corn kernels
