Freezing Fresh Summer Corn

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!

Deep Fried Fresh Young Corn Deep Fried Fresh Young Corn
Since I didn't want to waste too many of this valuable short-season vegetable, I deep fried them in the corn silk. While deep frying, a heavenly aroma wafted up from the pan.Since the corn silk is not coated in the mixture, they will have a soft texture. Since they burn easily, deep fry over a low heat. I recommend serving them right out of the pan. Recipe by kebeibiko cookpad.japan -

California Farm Grilled Sweet Corn in the Husk California Farm Grilled Sweet Corn in the Husk
Leaving the husks on fresh sweet corn, soaking the whole corn cobs overnight in a bucket of water and vinegar, then grilling them on hot coals, keeps more sweetness and flavor in the corn than when ears are peeled and boiled in water.

Simple Fresh Corn & Tomato Salad Simple Fresh Corn & Tomato Salad
If your corn is exceptionally sweet, you can use the kernels raw, and you'll have an even fresher, crisper salad to enjoy in less time. But sauteing the corn does bring out a different flavor and texture, and each variation is worth trying at least once.If you're going to saute your corn, I suggest you do that first, set the corn aside in your salad bowl to cool, give it a couple of stirs or tosses to release some of the heat, and then do your knifework on the rest of the ingredients while the corn cools.And you already know I'm not such a stickler for upscale ingredients, but if you can get your hands on some sweet, flavorful heirloom tomatoes, they really do make the salad better.If you'd like to give it a slightly more complex flavor, some optional spices that would work well individually in this salad in small amounts (1/8 to 1/4 teaspoonful): cumin, chipotle, smoked paprika, coriander, or even a little curry powder. x -

Corn Potage Soup Made With Fresh Corn Corn Potage Soup Made With Fresh Corn
Every year in the summertime, we receive a lot of corn as gifts from acquaintances. But I'm not very fond of the texture of the corn kernels, so I always end up making corn potage soup with it. When corn is not in season, I use store bought corn paste instead of fresh corn, but the intensity of the color, flavor, and sweetness is just not the same!!Use corn as soon as possible after picking. Any more than 3 days after harvest, and the flavor is not so good anymore. What we do at my house is to at boil all the fresh corn cobs, wrap them in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator. Alternatively you can remove the kernels and freeze. This year we received 22 ears of corn! We add potatoes only when we've got some that need to be used up, the soup is fine with out them too.
