I am a sweet corn snob. My non farm friends just don't get it. I refuse to eat corn more than 4 hours out of the field. The sugars start to covert to starch within a few hours and it simply is just not as good. I'm also lucky that I have an endless supply (as long as the raccoons and the puppy stay out of it).
If you can't eat it all or have to much it is really easy to freeze. Simply shuck the corn taking special care to remove all the silks. Bring a large pot to a boil and boil the ears for four minutes. Remove from the water and immediately plunge into ice cold water to stop the cooking. Slice the kernels from the ears and place in freezer bags.
We too are sweet corn snobs. Moving to the South has drastically reduced our sweet corn intake. So sad!
