Ingredients:

  • 10 ears (approx. 3 lbs) fresh sweet corn, shucked

Instructions:

  1. Shuck the corn and remove all silk. Rinse the corn under cold water until the kernels look bright and vibrant.
  2. Bring a stockpot of water to a rolling boil. Add the corn ears (without crowding the pot) and boil for 3 to 5 minutes until bright yellow but still firm.
  3. Immediately plunge the boiled corn into an ice water bath for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.
  4. Stand each chilled cob upright in a deep bowl and cut downward in a smooth motion to remove the kernels.
  5. Spoon the kernels into freezer-safe bags, press out all excess air with your palms, and seal tightly.
