That's all there is to it!  Put them in freezer bags and use a straw to suck the excess air out of the bag. Label them with the date and freeze. The final step is to crow about your awesomeness as a healthy home maker! ~ This is one of my little ways of reducing my carbon footprint.  This corn was bought locally and didn't have to be trucked to a processing plant, trucked to a warehouse and trucked to a grocery store.  The cobs went to the chickens and Gert and Maude loved them!  The ice water and cooled blanching water were dumped on my gardens. Maureen ... great idea. My husband would love that as he does not like eating it off the cob ... on the other hand, that is the way I want it. We picked in a field in Calif. and it was so sweet and tender, you did not even have to cook it. LOVE it. Glad you shared the cobs with the chickens. I throw my out and the deer chew on them. Blessings, Audrey Z @ Timeless Treasures. About Me Hi! I'm Maureen and this is my time to step back from all the busyness of life and follow my heart. I'd love to have you join me as I work on my century home for I'll need a little help and a lot of advice. Along the way, I'll share the "tricks of the trade" from the world of decorators. Thanks
