Freezing Sweet Corn

My sister - in- law gave us this awesome recipe for freezing corn.

You boil the corn for 10 minutes. Then we used a angel food cake pan, Joel held the cob in the middle and I used the electric knife and husked the corn. It is really slick falls right in the pan.

So you will need a gallon of sweet corn and lay it in a 9x13 pan. Melt 1 stick of butter, 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar. Bring to a boil; pour over corn and mix well. Let cook and pack in qt bags.
