Fresh corn on cob
It is delicious to have fresh corn on the cob when it is peak season. You can also freeze fresh corn on the cob to enjoy in the off seasons of Fall and Winter. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Shuck and wash fresh corn on the cob to prepare for blanching. Break in half if smaller corn on the cobs are desired.
2. Bring water to a full boil in a large pot over high heat. Carefully put the prepared corn on the cob in the pot of boiling water to blanch it. Boil for 3 minutes.
3. Use the tongs to take the blanched corn on the cob out of the boiling water and place into a freezer bag or plastic freezer container.
4. Lay the blanched corn on the cobs in the freezer bag or container so that they do not touch. This will make it easier to take out the desired number of corn on the cobs after they are frozen. Before you place the bags or plastic freezer containers in the freezer, make sure they are cool.
5. In those off seasons, you can go right to your own freezer and pick your corn on the cob. Take the number of desired corn on the cobs out of freezer bag or plastic container and carefully put in a pot of boiling water to cook for about 7 to 9 minutes until tender.
6. Butter and enjoy corn on the cob any time of the year. You may use spray butter to keep the calorie intake to be only from the corn on the cob itself.
