Debra’s Perfect Frozen Corn on the Cob Recipe
Ingredients:
- Fresh corn on the cob
- Freezer bags or vacuum-seal bags
Instructions:
- Prep the Corn:
- Peel away a few layers of the outer shuck skins from each corn on the cob.
- Trim both ends of the corn to ensure a clean, even cob.
- Freezing Process:
- Unlike traditional methods, there’s no need to blanch the corn. This step is skipped to preserve the natural taste and texture.
- Place the prepared corn directly into freezer bags or vacuum-seal bags. Make sure to remove excess air to prevent freezer burn.
- Seal the bags securely and label them with the date for reference.
- Freeze:
- Lay the bags flat in the freezer to allow for easy stacking and quicker freezing.
- Freeze the corn for several hours or until solid.
- Cooking the Frozen Corn:
- When you’re ready to enjoy the corn, remove the desired number of cobs from the freezer.
- Place the frozen corn under running water to thaw and remove the shucks and silks easily.
- Cooking Options:
- Boiling: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the thawed corn for approximately 15 minutes.
- Steaming: Steam the corn until heated through, usually around 15 minutes.
- Grilling: Wrap the thawed corn in the shuck with aluminum foil and grill for a smoky flavor.
- Microwave: Place the thawed corn on a microwave-safe plate and cook on high for 5-7 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy:
