Tutorial on Corn

Honestly this is for my own benefit so I don't forget. Here is how to prep freezer corn. Something I've done with my mom for years. 

My children love corn so this comes in handy during those winter months.

  First get your hands on a few hundred ears of corn. Make sure they are all shucked and de-silked. 

Having a cute 3 year old help you keeps it interesting,

Once the corn is ready you place a few ears into a microwave save container with lid. Add one cup of water and microwave on high for 4 mins. Place the steamed corn directly into ice water to flash freeze.

Once the corn is completely chilled (roughly 5 minutes) drain the corn.

You can simply place the whole cobs into a seal-a-meal bag. Suck out the air and seal. Then simply place in the deep freezer for later use. 

Option number 2: If you prefer your corn off the cob you can use a mandolin to slice the kernals off the cobs. You can use a knife but we have found that the mandolin is much more efficent for this task. Then spread the kernals onto a baking sheet and place in freezer for several hours. This hardens the individual kernals. Afterwards place desired portion into Seal-a-meal bags. Suck, Seal, and Freeze.

(pretty clean cobs don't you think)

 It takes a few hours to finish the task but worth every bite in the end. So if you happen to have a bunch of corn on the cob you don't know what to do with try this. You will thank me later.

It was a whole family affair too. My dad and Katie shucked, my sister cooked and cooled, and me and my mom dried and sliced. Brady liked to eat anything left on the cob too.
