Back in Utah the grocery store had one week each summer when corn was 10 ears for a dollar -- 10 cents an ear! I always watched for the sale and bought 100 ears. We'd line up the kitchen counter with paper bags* and the kids would have fun counting out 6 ears per bag, marking the date, folding the tops & I'd come along with the stapler. It was a regular production line, but it only took an hour, tops, to put up 100 ears for winter. Watch for the sale. Last year Publix had one day when the corn was 12 ears for a dollar! Too bad I don't have a big freezer here.

* The bags have to be the heavy paper ones from the grocery store, not the flimsy sandwich bags.
