How Do You Freeze Whole Corn On The Cob?
Got more fresh corn than you can possibly eat? Lucky you! Now you can have summer fresh corn on the cob on January’s chilliest winter night. How fun is that? You’ll be the envy of everyone you know. Aw, be a good friend and invite them over to savor sweet juicy corn on the cob and remember summer’s bounty, with you! Choose fresh corn and prepare it for freezing as soon as possible after harvest. Fill a large kettle or stock pot with water and bring the water to a rolling boil. Husk corn and remove the silks. Examine the corn. Kernels should be plump. Cut away any damaged parts of the cob. (Compromised ears of corn should be used for kernel corn, if possible, or discarded.) Measure the corn’s diameter. I know you feel silly, but the size of the corn determines the length of blanching time. If the corn isn’t in the boiling water long enough, you might not kill all the nasty microorganisms. If it’s in there too long, the resulting quality may be poor. So, measure the diameter of the corn.
