Summer is winding down, and that means it’s time to stock up on that Jersey-fresh produce. Specifically, that delicious corn. Our friends at Johnson’s Corner Farm shared their seven easy steps to freezing your corn for the winter.
- Husk the corn and clean it of all corn silk.
- Place ears of corn kernels in boiling water.
- Boil for one minute.
- Immediately plunge corn into ice water, allow to cool for several minutes.
- Drain corn in colander and place on lined baking sheet (wax or parchment paper) in a single layer.
- Place in freezer for one hour for corn kernels and three hours for corn on the cob.
- Put into freezer bags, place back in freezer to enjoy at a later date.
The frozen corn will keep for several months. To reheat, place in microwave-safe dish and heat for two to three minutes.
