Another thing checked off my 'learn how to' list! My grandma & I froze 9dozen ears of corn on Saturday. For no more work that there is to it I was exhausted that night & sore the next day! Pretty excited to have those 10 -2cup bags of corn in the freezer tho!
To start out, Grandpa & I shucked the corn while Grandma was getting the pans & bowls gathered up. This is our first bowl of shucked corn. 
Grandma blanched it & dipped it in ice water then I went to work cutting it off the cob. I finally got to use my new pampered chef tool just for this job :) I love a good tool & this one ROCKED!!! Here I am figuring out a rhythm to the job. 
While it simmered on the stove in butter & water, we ate lunch. (sorry no photos of that as the battery on the camera was acting up & I was lucky to get what I got) Lunch at their house is always better than home! Fresh tomatoes, onions & cucumbers, leftover sloppy joes & corn of course :) YUUUMMMMMMMM!!Here's Grandma @ the stove w/our second batch of corn. By batch I mean second bag of 5 dozen ears. We did keep a dozen on ears to eat this week but looks like we got the same amount of corn in the pans. 
We ended up w/about 36 cups of corn bagged, labled & in the freezer! YAY! That will taste amazing in December!

i refuse to cut corn off the cob (although i'm sure its helpful for your child care though). i freeze the ears whole.
There is just something about freezing your own sweet corn, that tastes so much better than corn from a can or bag. :)
Oooh, I LOVE fresh corn! It always tastes better than canned or corn bought at the store.
I love doing this. Thanks for linking up this week.
