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:
- Choosing the right corn: Select fresh, sweet corn on the cob with plump kernels. Avoid corn that has dried out or has虫蛀.
- Blanching the corn: Blanching the corn before freezing helps preserve its color, flavor, and nutrients. To blanch the corn, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the corn. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the kernels are bright green and tender. Immediately remove the corn from the boiling water and plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Draining the corn: After blanching, drain the corn thoroughly to remove excess water. You can use a colander or a salad spinner to drain the corn.
- Packaging the corn: Freeze the corn in airtight containers or freezer bags. Leave 1-2 inches of headspace at the top of the container to allow for expansion during freezing.
- Freezing time: Frozen corn can be stored in the freezer for up to 12 months. However, it is best to use it within 6-8 months for the best quality.
Conclusion:
Freezing sweet corn is a great way to preserve its flavor and nutrients for later use. By following these tips, you can ensure that your frozen corn turns out delicious and retains its鮮度. Whether you use it in soups, stews, salads, or side dishes, frozen corn is a versatile and convenient ingredient to have on hand.
