Freezer Corn

I found this recipe here - http://www.provident-living-today.com/How-To-Freeze-Corn.html
It looks like she has a lot of information about canning and freezing.

Here is my version of her recipe

8 cups corn shucked and cut off cob (this was 10 ears for mine batch)
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp sugar
3 Tbsp margarine
1/2 cup water



 Shuck the corn, trim the ends if needed and remove the silks.

 I never like removing the silk and have not found an easy way to do so.  

 Cut the corn off the cob and measure out  8 cups.  Place in a saucepan with the other ingredients. 
Bring to a boil and let boil for 5 minutes. I stirred it occasionally.

Remove from heat and allow to cool.  Mine was cooled enough to be able to handle but was still pretty warm.
I measured 2 cups into quart freezer bags and got 3 bags.  I placed these in a larger zippered bag and put in the freezer.

The little bit remaining in the pan sure tasted yummy!  Looking forward to having some of this in the next few weeks.
