Corn on the cob can be frozen and stored flat in gallon zip lock freezer bags
Another option is using an airtight container and stacking frozen corn on top of each other
If you are really short on freezer space, consider cutting the kernels off the corn on the cob
Blanch the corn on the cob and remove the kernels from the cob before freezing
This is the best way to freeze and preserve corn without sacrificing freezer space
Always blanch vegetables before freezing to ensure the freshest taste and texture
The blanching process stops the enzyme process that breaks down flavor, texture, and colors in vegetables
Corn on the cob can be vacuum sealed before freezing
This method is great for long term freezer storage
Properly vacuum sealed corn on the cob can be frozen for 12 months
To freeze corn in the husk
Heat a large pot or a full of water and bring to a rolling boil
Meanwhile, fill a sink full of cold water
Add Ice to keep it cold
Drop your ears of husked corn into the boiling water
Let them cook only until they turn a bright yellow turning as necessary until they are evenly blanched
This will take about 7 minutes a batch
Remove the corn from the boiling water and immerse immediately in the cold water to stop the blanching process
While the corn is in the water set out a towel and cut several sheets of tinfoil big enough to wrap the corn ears individually
One at a time, remove each ear from the ice cold water, dry the ear quickly in the towel and wrap it in the tinfoil to prevent freezer burn
Put the ears, into gallon size freezer bags, four ears to each bag
Label each bag and freeze
To freeze off the cob
Cut the kernels off the cob
Blanch the corn kernels 4 minutes for best flavor retention
Load the kernels, into quart size ziplock freezer bags or vacuum seal
Label and stack the bags into your freezer
Freezing corn on the cob is an easy way to preserve your corn harvest
