Freezing Fresh Summer Corn

fenway @Fenway

We get awesome local corn from the local farmers market during the summer, the best way to preserve the fresh flavor is to blanch the corn and cut the kernals off the cob and freeze. I have tryed freezing whole ears but was not happy with the reheating. To reheat these just pour into a dish, add salt, pepper and butter and microwave until hot, or saute in butter until hot,. It is so delicious a touch of summer all year long!

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
