Frozen sweetcorn cobs

[womble]

I've just eaten my first frozen sweetcorn cob, frozen last year in Sept I suppose.
Not bad, very nice taste still, although the individual corns were a little soft, much softer than fresh off a plant, but then no sweetcorn are growing in the garden at the moment are they?
Wasn't sure if to thaw it first before cooking and when it was cooked the centre of the con was still coldish, but the kernels were nice and hot.

If we have too many cobs again this year (hopefully ) I will definitely do it again.

I've still got a couple left, so I would be interested to hear how other people cook theirs.

I like mine brushed with oil and grilled, turning over when lightly brown to stop it burning, like you would with a sausage. Do the same on a BBQ. Try stir fry oil if you want more flavour.

Think it's probably better to cook from frozen if boiling them so the niblets don't get too soggy. If grilling may have to thaw first, then "dry" off on kitchen towel otherwise the oil may spit a bit as the excess water evaporates.

I also use toasted corn kernels in butternut squash soup or a fish chowder. Either grill as above or cut kernels off cob and fry in a little butter till browned.

Did you blanch them before freezing them?

We blanch ours then cut the kernals off freeze them in bags

I simply remove the husk, clean it off and freeze whole. Works a treat and saves me having the pain of removing the kernals - I justify this by saying that every second the sugards decrease so the sooner it's frozen the better! Don't like the stuff anyway so it's for OH anyway.

But how do you cook it Alison? And how long for?

NOG, I did blanch it, but I can't remember how long for. Probably under a minute.

[Alison]

No idea how it's cooked as I don't eat it - will ask OH as he said it was loverly. Think he cooked it on the cob and has probably tried it steamed and grilled but will check and get back to you!

I only eat mine raw fresh from the plant within seconds. A bit like Gardeners Delight tomatoes..............none ever get past the allotment gate! (Just two of my little perks!)
