Freezing Cooked Corn

Creamed Corn
Place the creamed corn from this recipe in a freezer container and save for a side dish at your Thanksgiving Day dinner. This recipe is also good for stuffing vegetables, such as tomatoes or bell peppers.

Ingredients

4 ears corn, husked
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or Wondra flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup of corn broth
2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Cut the kernels from the cobs with a small paring knife. Using the back of the blade, scrape against the cob to press out the milky liquid.

Place the corn husks in a large pan and cover with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half about 45 minutes. Discard the cobs and save the broth.
Whisk together honey, flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add the corn kernels. Add the heavy cream and water. Mix.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the corn mixture and turn the heat down to medium-low, stirring until it becomes creamy about 15-20 minutes.
