How to freeze corn off the cob

  • Find the freshest sweet corn available.
  • Husk the corn by removing the outer green leaves and the inner corn silk. I do this by splitting the husk at the tassel, grabbing the silk and removing both in one motion.
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil.
  • Blanch the corn.
  • With firm, controlled pressure, use a corn stripper to cut the corn from the cob from the thick stalk end to the thin tassel end.
  • Make sure the pressure is not forcing the corn stripper into the cob of the corn.
  • Potion into freezer bags or containers, removing as much air as possible.
  • Label with date and portion size.
  • Lay flat to freeze.
  • Enjoy within a year.
