Freezing Fresh Corn Recipes

Steps:

• In a stockpot, combine all ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to large shallow containers to cool quickly, stirring occasionally. Freeze in airtight containers, allowing headspace for expansion.

Steps:

• 1. Mix all ingredients together and place in a large pot. Bring to boil, SLOWLY, as corn will burn easily. Turn down heat and simmer 10 minutes, stirring almost constantly. This will take a while as you are bringing this to a boil slowly so as not to burn. Take off heat and let cool in container. (Put hot container on a towel so as not to burn counter, etc.) When cool, place in freezer containers and freeze. NOTE: To cook - thaw, not necessary to thaw completely. Place in microwave safe container. Microwave 5 minutes, stir well, microwave another 5 minutes, stir. Add about 2 tablespoons butter (bacon drippings if you prefer), salt, pepper. Microwave another 4 minutes. If your corn is not thick enough for you, mix about a teaspoon of cornstarch and some water and add to corn before last cooking. If you prefer to cook it on top of the stove, that's fine, just cook a little longer on low, stirring often.
• 2. NOTE: Try Peaches 'n Cream Corn, it's delicious and freezes well.

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.
