Freezer Confetti Corn

In a small bowl combine butter, chives, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Shape mixture into a 5-inch log. Wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap. Freeze about 1 hour or until firm. Cut butter into eight slices. Place in a freezer container and freeze until needed.

Meanwhile, in a covered 8-quart pot cook corn in enough boiling water to cover for 3 minutes; drain. Plunge corn into two extra-large bowls of ice water. Let stand until chilled. Cut kernels from cobs; do not scrape (should have about 7 cups).

Line two 15x10x1-inch baking pans with parchment paper or foil. Spread corn kernels, sweet pepper, and onion in an even layer in the prepared pans. Freeze, loosely covered, about 2 hours or until nearly firm.

Divide vegetables evenly among four 1-quart freezer bags. Add 2 slices butter to each bag. Squeeze air from bags; seal and label. Freeze for up to 6 months.
