Food Storage Tips: Freezer Corn

June 13, 2012 by T. Pham

Do you have corn in your Food Storage? How do you freeze corn – do you make a special concoction for creamed frozen corn, or just blanch it and freeze it?

Here is my basic corn freezing recipe:

Remove husks and silks from corn – though, don’t be too particular about getting all the silks.
Blanch corn for 4 minutes. (meaning cook in boiling water)
Remove from hot water and place in (a sink of ) cold water. Cool briefly.
Use your favorite knife to cut the corn from the cob. Scoop into a freezer safe bag. Fill bag, leaving some room for expansion in the freezer. Squish the air out of the bag. Place in freezer.

Thaw and cook. Add butter, salt, and pepper to taste.

I hope that all made sense to you. Enjoy!
