We love corn on the cob at our house. LOVE it. We look forward to August each year so we can chow down! Each year we also find a great deal on corn and cook and freeze it for later. Then we can enjoy the fresh taste of summer all winter long!

First….obviously…shuck your corn. Last night we had a fun family night teaching the kids about the importance of hard work and welf-reliance while doing all this corn. We had 9 dozen to shuck. They had a good attitude about it!

After shucking the corn, we bring it in the house and wash it, then boil it for about 3 minutes each.

After they cool a bit where we can handle it, we cut the corn off the cob with our electric knife. Cooling the corn not only makes it better to touch, but it makes it easier to cut off the cob as well. This is my husband’s job…he is really good at it.

After cutting the corn off the cob, we fill the Foodsaver bags and seal up tight! I love my Foodsaver. It keeps the food fresh for a long time in the freezer. I have a large bag of Foodsaver bags that I buy at Costco, you get the best price there that I have found anywhere.

My kids did a great job helping us last night cook and freeze all this corn! Here is what 9 dozen look like in my freezer. It is nice to have that done and know that this winter, we will have some yummy corn to eat!
