Freezing:
- Corn can also be stored in the freezer for a year. Before freezing it, it is necessary to blanch the corn cobs. To do this, peel the corn on the cob and remove the silks (beards).
- Cut it into pieces and put it in boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and let cool before freezing.
- For cooking, let it thaw for 2 hours then boil it for 3 to 5 minutes.
Tips:
- Corn on the cob is at its peak during the months of July, August and September during the Quebec harvest.
- Choose ears with rounded and smooth kernels. This shows that it has not started to dry out.
- Sweet corn is also available canned or frozen.
