Spread it!
We received a few bags of corn from my parents and a few bags from another friend. We were able to eat the corn from our garden and freeze the corn that was given to us.
There are a lot of different recipes for freezer corn. You can add butter, cream, and other seasonings. We decided to just freeze it plain and add seasonings when we eat the corn. I plan to mostly use it in soups and other dishes this winter, so I don’t need all the seasonings. Here are instructions for what we did:
Step One- Prep
Pick & husk the corn. Start a pot of water boiling while you are washing the corn.
Step 2- Boil
Boil corn on the cob for 10 min. Remove from heat & let it cool.
Step Three- Cut & Bag
Cut the kernals from the cob & put them in a bowl. Because there are only 2 of us, we put the corn in snack size bags (about 1.5 cups ea.) and then placed those bags in a larger freezer bag.
I really like taco soup. I am planning to cook & freeze several kinds of beans. Then I will be able to cook up some hamburger & grab a bag of corn, a bag of tomatoes, a few bags of beans from the freezer and have soup!
