My husband and I spent the last weekend husking sweet corn with a couple. Our friend thinks we husked over 100 ears of corn and unfortunately that wasn’t all of it!! The corn tasted delicious right off the cob. With so many ears, we decided to freeze some of it. Here’s the recipe we used:
Ingredients:
- 6 cups corn
- 3 tsp sugar
- 1 1/2tsp pickling salt
- 1 cup water
Directions:
- Boil 10 minutes.
- Cool. (We dumped it in cake pans and then stuck it in the freezer to speed the cooling process)
- Bag in freezer bags. (We did 3 cups in each bag)
- To eat: Thaw and boil until heated through
Conclusion: It tasted great! Easy recipe and easy to do! I’m excited to have sweet corn now all year long.

Here’s a tip I learned from my mother many years ago. Stand the ear of corn in an angel food cake pan and use an electric knife to cut the corn off the cob. Works like a charm!
(Perhaps you were using electric knives–I can’t tell from the picture.) I put large containers of corn in our bathtub with pails of water frozen ahead of time. They cool down quickly but your way may be even easier. No matter how you do it that corn will taste so good next winter!!!
