Me and Allen are pretty much together on freezing corn. I only blanch for 3 minutes MAX though and it goes straight in the ice bath......this stops the sugar to starch conversion and retains the sweetness. Then, I use one of those Lee corn cutters and cut it all off......don't cut too deep or you'll get some cob. I'm real scientific from this pouint forward..hehe....I put two heaping handfuls of corn in each bag and seal it up. All this hits the freezer ASAP. Don't pile the bags up, but place them side by side on the shelves so it freezes fast.

Last year, I put up 110 quarts by myself, two days later the freezer crapped out and I lost it all!

I have raised many varieties but rely on Golden Queen year in and out. It's a good producer, freezes excellent and has excellent taste.

For you guys who freeze shuck and all, how does those ear worms taste microwaved? HAR!
