can't you freeze it? would you need to blanche it first or put it straight in the freezer?

Why would you wanna freeze it - eat it fresh so much better. There are loads of things you can make with it.

If you have a glut you can freeze it, but you have to blanch it first, all veggies to be frozen should be blanched first.

I have to agree with the others, I have grown sweetcorn for many years
(mainly for BBQ) I grow about 100 cobs and It takes me quite a long time to get it stripped and into the pans then cool then freeze. But I do microwave some too. I save a whole morning to gaher crops and cook,
so they remain very fresh.

I used to save all the outer leaves as a friend used to dry them out and made these pretty Christmas angles from them for the Christmas tree....
so hows that for recycling!

Any surplus will freeze well. I can't manage to eat 50 cobs in the space of a few weeks :roll:
