Directions:There are many options for freezing corn. You can:
Remove the husks, blanch the corn on the cob and then freeze the whole cobs of corn.
Shuck the cobs, blanch them, remove the corn kernels and freeze only the kernels.
Cook corn, allow it to cool, remove the husks and freeze the cooked cobs or the kernels that have been cut off the cob.
Freeze uncooked corn on the cob in the husk. This is the EASIEST method by far.
Note: To blanch corn on the cob with husks removed, submerge the corn in boiling for water according to the guidelines below and then remove the corn to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Blanching guidelines for corn on the cob are as follows:
Small ears: 7 minutes
Medium ears: 9 minutes
Large ears: 11 minutes
HOW TO FREEZE CORN ON THE COB IN THE HUSK WITHOUT BLANCHING
Start with the freshest corn possible. If you start with corn that has been sitting othe counter for a few days instead of ones stored in the refrigerator, then you’re already one step behind when it comes to quality!
Don’t peel or remove anything. If the husk is snug against the corn then it will help prevent freezer burn.
Wrap corn in plastic wrap and/or place it in a plastic bag, removing as much air as possible. Use a FoodSaver to vacuum pack it if your have one.
Store corn in the cob in the freezer until you’re ready to cook it. |
