KITTENCAL'S METHOD FOR FREEZING CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Have all you cobs of corn shucked and silks removed before starting this.
• Pour ice into a large bowl then fill with very cold water; set aside on the counter near your stove.
• Fill a large pot of water a little over half full.
• Add in the sugar; bring to a full boil.
• Add in as many cobs of corn that will fit into the pot without over crowding.
• Bring the water up to a FULL boil again; cook the corn JUST until the cobs turn a darker yellow which will not take long (about 3 minutes) turning the cobs over in the water if necessary using long tongs to insure even cooking.
• Just when the corn takes on a darker shade of yellow, using long tongs immediately plunge into the bowl of ice water and allow to sit until completely cooled.
• Place the cobs onto a clean tea towel. to drain slightly.
• Dry the outside of each cob slightly with a clean tea towel.
• Wrap each cob individually in a piece of foil to prevent any freezer burn that might develop over the long freezing time.
• Place the foil-wrapped cobs in a large bag, then freeze.
• WHEN READY TO USE; remove as many cobs as you wish from the freezer place on the counter to thaw slightly (the corn does not have to be completely thawed).
• To heat the corn; place 1 cob into a microwave-safe plate and cook on high for 3-4 minutes or until completely heated through, turning the cob halfway through cooking time or for a more even heating place 1 cob of corn into a Glad Simply Cooking Microwave Steaming bag, seal and microwave for 3 minutes (I use the steaming bags to heat the corn).
• The corn is now ready to eat and enjoy!
