  3. Glaze & Serve
    Brush corn with warm honey butter mixture. Garnish with:
    • Crumbled feta cheese
    • Chopped cilantro
    • Lime wedges

1. Refrigeration (3-5 days)

  • Cool rapidly: Portion into shallow containers within 2 hours of cooking
  • Airtight packaging: Use glass containers with silicone seals or vacuum-sealed bags
  • Layering: Separate corn kernels with parchment paper if storing multiple layers
  • Sauce preservation: Top with extra honey butter layer to prevent drying

2. Freezing (2-3 months)

  • Blanch first: For uncooked corn, blanch 4-5 minutes before freezing
  • Flash freeze: Spread cooked corn in single layer on baking sheet before bagging
  • Sauce integration: Mix honey butter thoroughly while warm for even distribution
  • Portion control: Freeze in 1-cup portions using Souper Cubes trays

3. Advanced Preservation

  • Honey butter base: Store extra sauce separately in sterilized jars (2 weeks refrigerated)
  • Infusion option: Add rosemary/thyme to honey butter for natural preservation
  • Vacuum sealing: Extends fridge life to 7 days using chamber vacuum systems

4. Quality Maintenance

  • Reheating: Revive in skillet with 1 tsp water, covered, over medium heat
  • Texture rescue: Toss with fresh lime juice before serving if frozen
  • Odor prevention: Place baking soda box in fridge compartment

5. Creative Reuse
Transform leftovers into:

  • Corn fritters (mix with egg/flour)
  • Chowder base (blend with stock)
  • Taco filling (add chili powder)
  • Breakfast hash (sautĆ© with potatoes)

Always discard if you notice:
• Sour smell • Slimy texture • Mold spots • Discolored butter separation
