Ingredients

  • 6-8 ears of sweet corn
  • 1 cup water
  • 1-2 tbsp. sugar optional
  • 1 tsp. salt

Instructions

  • Remove corn from cob using a sharp knife or a corn stripper
  • Place into large pot with water, salt, and sugar (if using).
  • Bring to a boil and cook for 6-8 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  • Once cool, pack into freezer bags with liquid. I like to label the bags with how many cups are in there, the date, and whether or not I added sugar to that batch.
  • To reheat, allow bag to thaw in fridge, pour into a saucepan, and cook until heated through.
