Total Time Prep: 30 min. Cook: 15 min.

Yield 3 quarts

People ask me how to freeze corn on the cob because my frozen corn tastes as good as fresh! This way it stays crisp-tender and now I can have "fresh" corn any time of the year. —Judy Oudekerk, St. Michael, Minnesota

Ingredients

4 quarts fresh corn (cut from about 20 ears)
1 quart hot water
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, cubed
2 teaspoons salt

Directions

In a stockpot, combine all ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to large shallow containers to cool quickly, stirring occasionally. Freeze in airtight containers, allowing headspace for expansion.
