Preserve It . . . Canning Corner: Freezer Corn!

Freezing corn is easy

and something the whole family

can take part in!

Here's what you'll need:

Corn

Knives

Large Pot

(With a colander that fits inside.)

Heavy Duty Ziploc Freezer Bags

and a

Sharpie Marker

To Start:

Husk the corn!

This is where it's nice to have lots of helping hands!

Make sure you get all the strings.

Give the corn a quick rinse under cool water.

Use a knife to cut the corn from the cob.

This can be done before or after blanching, but

it's much easier to handle the cold corn!

You'll have a bowl full of corn before you know it!

Fill large colander with the cut corn and set into

a pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes.

Run the freshly blanched corn under ice cold water to shock it,

and stop the cooking.

Use a cup to fill the Ziploc bags with corn.

Add a dollop of butter and add the date.

Put bags of corn into the freezer and . . .

YOU'RE DONE!

Sweet corn in the winter is a serious treat!!!

Remember . . .

ENJOY!
