I’ve always canned my corn, but all these suggestions on freezing are wonderful, I’ve canned so much this year, I think it’s time to do some freezing. I just finished doing up 12 qts of dill pickles. Kendra I love reading about your life its my way of relaxing in the evening. Thank you.

Hi,

Wanted to let you know that you can also freeze corn in a pillow case! Just pick the corn, put it in a pillow case, and freeze. You remove the husks and silk once you are ready to cook. It’s easy and it really works! It also tastes very fresh when you eat it.

I’ve enjoyed reading your website.

My husband and I are the blessed parents of thirteen children, and we are learning to grow more and more of what we eat.

We now have milk cows, a steer, chickens, turkey, and about a 3 acre garden. Our children are experimenting this year with growing sorghum and they tapped maple trees this winter for the first time, even though we live in the south.

Happy homesteading!

Yeah let me know if you do get to can it and how it turns out for you….We were satisfied but I know most pepole freeze theirs…Maybe it is the rebel in me to do things different haha

Great pics.

Glad you got some good corn!

We are fortunate to have 2 big chest freezers, so our favorites to freeze are corn, green beans, peaches, and strawberry freezer jam, along with pork from the pig we raise each summer. We have found that the taste of frozen corn and beans (when later cooked) are virtually the same of that of freshly cooked corn and beans (if they’ve been blanched and cooled properly before freezing), and you just don’t get that same fresh taste from things that have been processed in a canner, although canning is definitely the way to go if you don’t have the freezer space. Also, canned foods are great for using as ingredients in recipes as you would store-bought cans of vegetables. Everyone just needs to do what works for themselves based on how they’re able to store it. It’s just great knowing where your food comes from and what has and hasn’t been put on it, so do whatever it takes to preserve the good produce you are able to get. We froze so many ears of corn last summer (and bags of beans)that we’re just now getting down to the last few bags, just in time for this summer’s harvest.

Cute pics! Our three little gr. corn shuckers!
