HOW TO FREEZE FRESH CORN

Freezing Corn is a great way to preserve one of the best things of Summer!!

What I love about frozen corn over canned is you don't end up with soggy squishy corn....

Instead you are left with fresh crisp corn that is in a form that can be 

used for any recipe!!

I stored mine in Sandwich size bags (about 3 cups) 

this way it would be easy to pick how much I needed depending on my recipe!

WHAT YOU NEED:

• Corn
• Pot with boiling water
• Large bowl of ice water
• several dry towels
• tongs
• Cookie Sheets
• Containers or bags to freezer the corn in

HOW TO

• Get a large pot full of water to a rapid boil
• Meanwhile, shuck and clean away all the silk from the corn

• Once the water is boiling it is time to Blanch 
• Place about 6-8 ears at a time into the water. 
• Boil for 5 minutes.  Use a time, trust me it is easy to get side tracked!!
• It should only take the water about a minute to return to a rapid boil
• If it takes longer you have to much corn in the pot and need to boil less at a time.
• Meanwhile, get a large bowl of ice water ready to shock the corn
• This is a very important step.  You want to stop the corn from cooking so you don't get chewy corn.
• After the 5 minutes of blanching is done, Quickly move the corn cobs to the ice water and let soak for another 5 minutes.

• Remove the corn from the ice water and place on dry towels to wick away the excess water.
• Once the corn is dry cut the kernels off the cob and place in an even layer on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer until the kernels are completely frozen! (about 3-4 hours)
• Yes, you could just put the fresh wet kernels into a bag and freeze them....if you like to have a brick of water corn!
• If you would like to have frozen corn like you get from a store (frozen individually so the kernels are loose in the bag & not water logged) DO THIS EXTRA STEP!
• Try to keep your munkin from eating it all!

• Once the kernels are frozen place into freezer safe bags & enjoy summer corn all year long!
