Course Meal Prep, Side Dish
Cuisine American

Equipment

  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board (or rimmed glass baking dish)
  • Measuring cups & spoons
  • Large stock pot or Dutch oven
  • Freezer safe bags
  • Stove

Ingredients
  

  • Fresh sweet corn enough to make 10 cups of kernels cut off the cob
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 tbsp. Salt

Instructions
 

  • Prep your freezer bags by labeling them with contents, date, and amount of corn. (I like to put 2 cups per quart size bag.)
  • Shuck and clean the ears of corn. Inspect for any bad spots - remove if necessary.
  • Cut kernels off the cob. Measure out 10 cups of raw corn kernels and place in large pot with water and salt.
  • Cook corn over medium heat until it comes to a rolling boil. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Remove pot from heat and let corn cool completely.
  • Portion and pack into freezer-safe bags. Wipe seal of bag to ensure it is completely clean. Remove as much air as possible and seal bag closed.
  • Flatten and freeze.
