How do YOU freeze your corn off the cob? Do you cut it off first or blanch it first, then cut? If you cut it off first, do you add things to it while cooking like sugar, salt, milk, butter, etc? I had a load of corn to freeze this weekend and it seemed like everyone I talked to did it just a little differently. So how do you do it? |

Thanks, ladies! The first batch, I blanched first, then just cut it off the cob and bagged it. The next bunch I cut it off first, then just heated it on the stove for a few minutes and bagged it. After a little scorched corn, I began adding water to it, and cooking for about 10 minutes, then once cooled, bagged. I went through 11 dozen ears this weekend. The woman I talked to at the market said she cuts it off, seasons it with salt, sugar, milk and butter, then bags it. That sounds good, but I wasn't sure about the milk part. I also didn't want to season it too much, since I don't necessarily know what type of recipe it is going into. I definately think we have enough corn to last us through the year! |

I just blanch mine like Lillian does. But right before I seal them in the freezer container I add some melted butter to the container. That way I can just take it straight from the frezzer to the pot or microwave and it is good to go! Sometimes I will make creamed corn and pulse half of it up in the food processor a little with the butter, a pinch of sugar and small spot of half and half. Then freeze it. I am sorry I don't have a better more exact recipe. I cook from the heart and my taste buds.

Although no one can go back and make a brand new start; anyone can start from now
and make a brand new end.

We do a simple recipe. Cut the corn off the cob, mix in salt and water, and then freeze. I think it is pretty good. don't have the recipe right now, still at work.

Toni-I blanch mine on the cob, throw it in ice water, cut it off the cob and freeze. I don't add anything to the water.
