Freezer Corn

This freezer corn recipe is just like a famous canning company that ships corn worldwide. If you are new to canning and preserving food from your garden, freezing is an easy way to preserve food for future use. This is a recipe that my aunt has been making for years. Only recently did my mom and I find out the secret recipe. Freeze the corn in late summer and enjoy fresh-tasting sweet corn anytime throughout the year.

Notes

FAQ’s About Freezing Sweet Corn

How to Store Freezer Corn?

Store the corn in an airtight freezer container or a freezer bag. At our house, we use freezer bags as we feel that they take up less room. We lay the bags flat to freeze as they will stack on top of one another to save room in the freezer.

How to Freeze Corn on the Cob?

Remove the husk and silk from the corn cobs and place 2-4 in a plastic freezer bag. Label the bag and place in the freezer. The corn will last up to 12 months when frozen.

Can You Freeze Corn Without Cooking It First?

Yes, it can be frozen on the cob and cut off the cob. Just place in an airtight container or plastic freezer bag. This uncooked corn will last up to 12 months in the freezer. When using, just cook thoroughly as it is not blanched or pre-cooked prior to freezing.

Reheat Methods for Frozen Corn

Once this corn is frozen, it can be heated and eaten just as is or added to other recipes as needed.
The corn will heat faster if it is thawed before cooking; however, it is not necessary.

Here are two methods that we use to heat the corn.

Microwave. This is probably the most used way in our house. Just place in a microwave safe container and microwave on high 2-3 minutes. Stirring after each minute. This time will depend on the amount of corn you are heating.
Stove Top. Use a saucepan to heat the corn. I generally use medium-high heat and stir every few minutes. This will help distribute the corn and will help it heat up without burning the corn on the bottom.

How Many Ears of Corn Make One Cup?

When cutting the corn off the cob, each cob will yield approximately ¾ of a cup of corn kernels.
