Putting up corn

[rendezvous]

I wanted to put up so corn on the cob for a winter treat. Last year was a miserable failure, I blanched and vacuum sealed. I probably should have placed the blanched corn into ice water to stopped the cooking process before vacuum sealing??? Any information on how to do it correctly would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

I do the same, but skip blanching. I husk them, put in vacuum bags. Before sealing, I add butter and salt and pepper, then vacuum seal and freeze. When I'm ready to cook, I remove from freezer, and put in frig for a day to thaw, then put the bag right in the microwave. It works for me, and notice little flavor difference from fresh. Some bags are boil safe too.

I have done lots of it by blanching, cooling, sealing in a freezer bag and freezing. If you need to keep it frozen for a long time (>5-6 months) fill the bag with water to prevent freezer burn. CJ's idea sounds good, I just learned to do it by blanching first.

Thanks! I like to have a picnic in February; hotdogs, hamburgers, macaroni salad, corn on the cob. A nice steak and corn on the cob isn't bad either. Thanks again!
