I developed this way to freeze corn when other methods came out watery, mushy or tasteless. The butter puts a seal around the kernels the lets it keep crunch and the flavor in. I do about 2-3 batches per year and it keeps me through to next season. Number of ears will vary depending on size.

6 bags with 4 servings per bag (change servings and units)

Ingredients

18 ears fresh corn on the cob
1/2 cup butter, melted
4 quarts water
1 teaspoon salt
6 ziploc bags

Directions

1
Bring water and salt to a slow boil, cook corn in batches, boiling for 4 minutes each batch.
2
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).
3
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.
4
Pour butter over kernels and mix well (this gives each kernel its own seal).
5
Put about 2 cups of corn into individual bags. Squeeze all the air out, seal then push to flatten each bag.
6
Freeze flat on a cookie sheet to keep each bag flat, then stack to store in freezer.
7
Corn will be good for up to a year, to use, defrost in the microwave and serve.

Both my DH and I agreed...the corn was over cooked and I had only initially cooked it for 2-1/2 minutes. Bonus points on using the angel food cake tin for easy cutting of the corn kernels. Costco has some decent fresh corn on the cob during the winter months, so I probably won't do this one again. Also, there was not a huge saving in costs. Sorry, I couldn't be more posititive!

I put up 20 dozen ears of silver queen white corn last month and followed the directions exactly (without the salt) and let me tell you!! Its fantastic!! I just pull a zipock freezer bag out of the freezer, break it up into a bowl and microwave for a couple of minutes. The corn is just as good as the day i froze it. Crisp and super sweet. I am thinking i might need to go and get about 10 or so more dozen because this wont last in our house. My dad keeps sneaking up here and getting a quart size bag every week. I will NEVER do corn any other way EVER!! As far as i am concerned there is no other way but this way. I cant thank you enough for this recipe especially when it gets to be winter and i can pull a little but of summer out of the freezer. This is the best recipe i have ever used from Zaar!! UPDATE: Its now December and i still have corn and its still just as crisp and flavorful as it was the day i froze it. Not soggy at all!

Wow! I just tried this, great! Now I will pop in the freezer and be able to taste the flavor and hopefully the crunch. There is also no mess with these instructions, cleanup is minimal.
