Preserving Corn via Freezing

Frozen corn is wonderful! Not only does it preserve your harvest or farmer's market purchase, but it is a very versatile food item. We both grew up preserving vegetables but frozen corn is definitely one of the easy ones. You can freeze corn by yourself or as an entire family unit. As a child I remember freezing corn together as a family on Corn Day. A fun, sticky, laughter filled day. You can read about it here: Corn Day: A Childhood Memory

Corn Day: A Childhood Memory

I love sweet corn. Fresh right out of the garden, boiled and then eating off the cob, frozen and reheated during winter months, grilled, added to dishes....I loooove sweet corn. 

When I was a child, a family member would plant a plot of sweet corn a few rows into his regular field corn. This was in an effort to hide it from raccoon and deer in hopes of it surviving till harvest. And normally it would work! It also helped that he planted a crazy large amount, so that even if it was raided there would still be a lot left.
