Blanching stops their aging process and keeps them fresh longer. :) Fruit doesn’t need to be blanched before freezing, but veggies do.

Our family does this every year and it always gives us GREAT vegetables over the winter. We think this is the best way to preserve corn.

Tue, 13 Sep 2011 22:05:54 +0000 http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/putting-up-corn-for-winter#comment-115282 Thank you Laura! I just bought 25 ears of corn that was on sale for 19 cents each. I just "put away" 10 of them in the past hour, along with some broccoli. :O) If I'd known it was this easy I would have been doing this a LONG time ago. Quick question if you read this: should we blanch other veggies, etc as well i.e. broccoli, peaches, etc. or is it preference? Thank you Laura!

I have never done it before but I am going to get started this year. We have famer's markets four days out of the week in our city. I want to take advantage of all that fresh produce. Your posts make me less nervous and give me some confidence that I can do it. I appreciate all of the pictures too! I'm amazed at all you can accomplish while homeschooling. You're inspiring, thanks again. Laura,

I look forward to putting it up and enjoying it later. We've had a hotter than usual summer, so it's been hard to find local corn. I bought a dozen ears this morning.

Get a corn cutter, there are several types, easy to find on Ebay (I'm not selling, just suggesting) and it saves you a lot of time and sore hands! My aunt used to make the BEST creamed corn with one, it does it all in one sweep, just takes a few seconds per cob! YUMMMY! Hey, let’s make it easy!

We would freeze water in any available containers then use a pick to break it into smaller chunks. We would fill both sinks with ice chunks and water and dunk the cobs in after blanching. Since we froze our corn on the cob this insured that the cob was cool enough before placing into freezer bags. My girls WILL NOT eat corn out of a can, it has to be cooked on the cob and then cut off. They can tell the difference when eating corn at someone elses house! Only homegrown corn for them!
