A friend of mine says that they shuck and then freeze their fresh corn on the cob. Everything I have read says to blanch and put in ice bath first before freezing. I am wondering if it is OK to freeze without processing! Thanks!

yes you can - just put some up last week from my in-laws farm. I like to snap ears in half for easier storage, but you can also cut from the cob & freeze for soups and sides this winter. Nothing beats a grilled ear of silver queen corn in my book!!

Blanching Corn

My favorite way to freeze corn on the cob is to shuck it, remove all silks and let it air dry. I then wrap it tightly in waxed paper and put the ears in gallon freezer bags. I can remove as many ears as I need to cook. I cooked some recently that had been frozen for nearly a year. It tasted as good as it did the day I put it in the freezer. This method keeps freezer burn to a minimum, resulting in fresher flavor and texture.

After washing and cleaning off the silks, blanch it in boiling water for about 10 minutes and cool off in a ice water bath. After it's fairly cool, wrap it in foil and either put it in a ziploc bag or suck the air out with a foodsaver.

blanching is to stop the enzymes from maturing the
vegetable any further. since it was probably picked
at the peak blanching will keep it there. the ice water
is for a fast cool down to stop it from cooking.
