SWEET CORN FREEZING TIPS

Husk and wash the corn while you bring a large kettle of water to a boil.  Once the water is boiling, blanch the entire ear of corn (several at one time) for 4 minutes.  Remove the corn and immediately cool down in an ice water bath (we use several changes of water to cool more quickly).  Completely cooling the corn before freezing is important.  Drain the ears of corn and then remove the corn from the cob.  A technique we use eliminates much of the mess.  You will need an electric knife and either a bundt or angel food cake pan.  Place the large end of the cob in the top of the tube.  Carefully holding the other end of the cob, slice down each side of the ear.  The kernels will fall into the pan, which keeps your work area much neater.  Approximately 3 ears of corn will give you two cups of corn when removed from the cob.  Place in freezer containers and enjoy this winter.

Corn can be frozen on the cob if you wish.  Blanch the ears between 7 and 10 minutes and cool in ice water.  Drain well.
