Learn how to freeze corn, either on the cob or off the cob, as sweet kernels. I have to admit that freezing corn results in a fresher dish on your table than canned corn.

Sweet corn

Water

Step 1

Step 2

Boil water and blanch corn for 5-6 minutes.

Step 3

Remove immediately into a pot of ice water. Let sit for 2 minutes.

Step 4

Cut kernels from the cob if desired. Or if freezing on the cob, wrap ears individually with plastic wrap.

Step 7

I'm looking at freezing some corn after blanching it but my question is can I still use the cob to make a corn stock after blanching to get the corn off?

First I want to thank you for a very informative recipe on corn. I would like to add a few tips if I may. However, I want to bring clarity to a comment you made "gather your huskers." The correct term is Shuckers because huskers only implies removing the husk and not the silk. The process of removing both is called shucking... 😊

I use a small wooden handle pot / pan brush in running water to remove silk and husk still stuck between rows of kernals. Now if I am going to freeze my cut corn I do not add the scrape of the cob. Only when I cook right then but, that is a preference of taste. I have found that if the scrapping was frozen it gave a harder texture to the cream corn. If I wanted to make cream corn out of frozen I would just hand blend it while cooking instead.

Great job and thanks!
