How to Freeze Sweet Corn

- Sweet corn. For me, those two words sum up the essence of summer. Ripe, recently picked sweet corn. Growing up, on what seemed like the most humid day possible, Dad would say that the sweet corn was ready. Grandparents would come to help and we would put away over 150 pints for everyone to share. Yes, that's a lot but the logic was that once the mess was made, you may as well put away a lot!

Obviously, we don’t have the same preservation needs as our grandparents did, but preserving sweet corn for use year-round is always worth it! Instead of a full-on recipe, this is a process. You can do as much or as little as you like.
Rough estimate:
30-40 cobs of corn produce 7-9 pints of cut corn
- Shuck and remove the husks from the sweet corn. Cut off any rotten or bad spots. Remove the silks and rinse.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add corn to the boiling water, and allow it to return to a boil. Cook for five minutes.
- Once cooked, remove corn from water and place in cool water to stop cooking.
- Submerge the corn in ice water until completely chilled. Continue the process until all the corn is cooked and chilled. It is essential the corn is chilled, including throughout the entire cob. If not chilled, the corn loses flavor and freshness.
- Once chilled, cut corn off the cob. Pack into containers or bags. Label and freeze.
The corn will keep for at least one year in a deep freezer.

Can I just have you live with me for a week? I love how simple and well explained your videos are. And LOVE your kitchen too! God bless you!
i've frozen a lot of fresh corn in my life and you prepared it perfectly. Excellent presentation/explanation. Fresh frozen corn tastes as fresh as straight from the garden. Gee, i can't stop watching your vids. tytyty
I just picked 4 diz serenuty cirn on the cob. I shucked 'em. I've washed them, and now im ready for your process. Thx,i appreciate yall! Blessings
Corn looks great! But Omg! Where did you get that sink with all the accessories! I need a kitchen remodel!!
So wonderfully presented!!! Thanks for your inspiration!
Kaleb, you do corn just like we do here in North Florida and South Georgia including scraping the cob to get all the”milk” out…..outstanding flavor❤️
Just the method our family has used forever as well. One little add-on is that we use a straw to create a vacuum package out of the pint bags. We put the straw in the corner of the bag, push out most of the air as you've done, press the zipper seal closed up to the straw, then suck out the remaining air while holding the small opening tight against the straw and pulling out the straw while still sucking, then pressing the last bit of the 'zipper' seal. This works beautifully for most goods you are freezing. I like it better than the vacuum sealer because I find that juices from the fruits or veggies, compromise the seal. Thanks for sharing this video.
So many good tips - thanks!
Its your kitchen! Thank you for all your help in preserving🌹
Thanks for all of your videos. I'm still learning something new.
♥️Grandma♥️
Thank you to that generation ♥️
you make everything looks so fun and easy
Definitely doing this next year! Our growing season is over. Hard frost already 😩
Love your personality!🙌🏻
“Maybe some salt… I love salt” thank you I’m so excited to harvest my first corn this year!
Thank you for your video. I went to McCures in Eldon & got a bunch of corn, cleaning shucks off now. I'm going to follow how your Grandma's showed you. Love Iowa corn
I think the vaccum seal bag will be better. Thank you for sharing, corn is quite cheap now, i will store some.
Love your kichen
Sweet corn ice cream? I'm from Cass County, Indiana; the corn capitol of the Midwest. I've never heard of sweet corn ice cream. I'll have to try it.
What kind/brand is your kitchen sink? Looking to do some kitchen updates and would LOVE one like yours!!
I love your videos. You make it look so fun. Thank you 😊
I do it the same way except use outdoor propane cooker, large stock pot, cooler with ice water and a electric knife. Can keep the water boiling doing 6 ears at a time. Also after pulling corn from ice bath i put on cookie sheet with towel dry for abit before removing corn from cob.
Kaleb, I’d love to see canning of green beans. I want to buy a pressure canner, but not sure which one, it’s just my husband and I. My mom always canned the best green beans and I want to learn. I had a garden once where we use to live. I canned the most beautiful green beans, but no pressure canner. I used the hot water bath and thought I was doing it long enough. They looked beautiful, and I’m pretty sure they all sealed. Got up the next morning and they had all ruined. So sad.
So many people don't milk the cob. It is such a waste. I was so excited to see you milk it
Thank You !!
Loved this!!! Thank you for sharing!!
I used to do it this way until I learned an easier way. Cut corn off cob. Fill bags with uncooked cut corn then add 1/2 cup of brine. Done. (When needed just thaw and cook for about 6 mins) Brine is water, salt and a little sugar. BEST tasting frozen corn I've ever eaten!
gonna try some next year with brine.
That’s what I do. I learned it from my mom, she did it. I need to do some this year.
I'm gonna call you the "corn wizard."😁👍
good job..
How do you preserve carrots? Thanks for another good video.
Loved this video! Thank you!
I LOVE watching your videos. I have used several of your tips. Especially the tips for perennials.
I cut toward myself also. Have used almost every utensil/gadget to cut it off and have went back to knife, easier, cheaper and less messy.
Thanks 😊
Thank you for sharing
Awesome video😊 what if you prefer to keep on the cob. Does it work just as well?
Do you have a video on making corn ice cream?
This is great. Thank you
Hello from Indiana corn country
Can't you just leave it on the cob or do you have to cut it off
We got a Betty Crocker here lol!
Thank u 👌👌
I've heard corn cob jelly is good.
I don't can hardly any vegetables except tomatoes. They are all so much better frozen. Nothing midwestern and weird about "milking the cob"
I cut towards me also..lol

Wow polichu
Do you make scotcharoos??
Oh, and we always call it “milking the corn”
Hello hello
Freez the cobs for corn cob jelly 😊
