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.

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.

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!
