Using a sharp knife, slice the raw corn kernels off of the corn cobs and place into a bowl or pot. Be careful and hold the cob firmly in one hand and the knife in the other, cutting lengthwise.

Add corn kernels to a pot with 1 cup of water, 1 tsp. of salt, and 1-2 tbsp. of  sugar (optional) to a large pot. Bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer for 6-8 minutes.

Allow corn to completely cool (taste test if you would like to see if you need more sugar or salt), and then place into airtight containers and freeze. Reheat in a saucepan when ready.
