Smiles Peeps,
Tis the season for canning and preserving summers best...
I've been busy canning tomatoes, sauces, salsas, pickles and more.
I also wanted to take advantage of all the great fresh corn at the Farmers Market. I bought tons of fresh corn.
It is so easy to freeze corn.
1) First husk corn and remove silks.
2) Blanch the corn in boiling water for 3 -4 minutes (5-6 minutes for larger ears)
3) Place corn in cold water to stop the cooking process
4) Pat the corn dry
5) Individually wrap the corn in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, if you want smaller portions cut or snap in half.
6) Place corn in freezer bags or vacuum pack.
Note: To prepare frozen corn just takes about 3 or 4 minutes in the microwave (from frozen) or 5 or 6 minutes in a pot of boiling water. It doesn't need to be "cooked", just heated up!
How easy is that!
You'll be able to enjoy fresh corn all year long.
Yum!!!!
This is great Kathy! I had no idea you could freeze cobs of corn and it always seemed like so much work to cut the kernels off to freeze them. How long to cook the frozen cobs for when you're ready to eat them?
So great you going to freeze some corn. It is really easy! Cooking: To prepare frozen corn just takes about 3 or 4 minutes in the microwave (from frozen) or 5 or 6 minutes in a pot of boiling water. It doesn't need to be "cooked", just heated up!
Wow. I had NO idea that you could freeze corn whole. This is one of those life changing moments for me. Thanks for sharing!
Your welcome, think of me when you eat in winter!
That's what i need to be doing so we can enjoy that luscious corn all winter! Thanks for both the idea and technique Cathy! Have a great day!!!
I'm pinning this because the last time I froze corn, it turned out tasteless after weeks in the freezer. I didn't know to blanch it. Thanks for sharing these instructions! Now next summer when corn is plentiful, I can stock up my freezer and know it'll taste good come fall.
Hey Cathy, thanks so much for supporting me and for linking up at I freakin did it Friday, I just featured this post on my facebook page!
