How to Make Frozen Sweet Corn
We love fresh corn on the cob, but the season is too short. We preserve corn by freezing it. It can take a few hours to get several dozen done, but it's worth it for the fresh taste.
We make our freezer corn outside over a fire. This keeps the heat and mess to a minimum.
Corn has to be blanched before freezing. If you don't stop the enzymes, they will still cause the corn to get mushy even in the freezer. The freezer slows down the process, but you need to boil the corn for a few minutes and then cool it quickly to stop the process.
Then cut off the corn and place the corn in freezer bags or freezer containers. It's a pretty easy way to preserve food for the winter. We get the kids involved and make it a family activity. You can use a knife, a mandolin, or a corn stripper to easily remove the corn kernels.
Your freezer corn is good for about a year in the freezer.
