Ingredients

  • Sweet Corn
  • Water

Instructions

  • Select fresh corn on the cob ideally as soon as possible after harvesting.
  • Remove the husks and silk from the cobs.
  • Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil. Then using tongs place 3 to 5 cobs into the boiling water. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, start timing from when the cobs first go into the pot.
  • Remove the cobs and place them into ice water to cool, add more ice to the water as it warms up. Continue until you have blanched all of your corn.
  • Cut the corn off the cob and measure into portions and place into a freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible or vacuum seal, label, and date the bags of corn.
  • Place the bags into your freezer in a single layer and leave until frozen, about 24 hours. Then stack the bags in your freezer to save space.
