I had to chuckle when I read your post because it reminded of the time my father planted almost 6 acres to sweet corn and catanlope (sp). He did sell a lot of it though and yes, I still like sweet corn and catalope.

There's a great fresh corn soup recipe in the 1-2-3 Menu Cookbook. Takes very few ingredients, and is great cold. It's almost always the first corn thing I make midsummer. The 1-2-3 cookbooks are written by Rozanne Gold. Check your library! I've modified it to suit us/our garden, but we like the original recipe too.

I love to cook corn 2 ways. Shuck the corn and place in aluminum foil with butter and salt. You can either do it on the top rack of the grill with medium heat for 20 minutes or cook it in the oven on 375 for 30 minutes. Works with frozen corn too. Yummy!

I think if I had all that corn planted and couldn't find enough recipes, I'd be putting out a "Sweet Corn For Sale" sign!

Cut it off the cob and freeze it so you can enjoy it all year until next corn harvest!

I also know of several people who swear by putting the corn right into the freezer as it comes off the stalk. In paper bags. If you have the freezer room, try this. Corn dehydrates and rehydrates very nicely also. If it were me I think I'd cut it off the cob and freeze it – some creamed, some not, like Suzanne's FBR recipe shows

We clean the corn on the cob and stick it right in the freezer like that for "fresh" corn on the cob all winter. When you are ready for it, heat your water to boiling, THEN take it out of the freezer and put it in the pot- straight from frozen. Boil as you would fresh. We can't tell the difference between fresh and frozen done this way.

langela, do you shuck it and wash it? Do you freeze it in plastic bags or paper like DeDe mentioned. I don't have corn but my sister's husband got carried away. Any suggestions are appreciated.

We shuck it, then freeze in double ziploc bags. When we remove it from the freezer, it is ready to go right in the boiling water without any further work. I haven't tried paper bags. You might research the reasons behind using paper vs. plastic. Plastic is just more available and we can fit our family-sized meal portion in one gallon bag. Hope this helps.
I just re-read your question. I have never washed my ear corn. We shuck it and remove the silk and consider it clean. Is this weird?

Since my mom always blanched the corn before putting it in the freezer that's what I do. I clean it (shuck, remove silks & any bad spots) , blanch and cool it down then freeze in vacuum seal bags (in meal size portions). I can then either pop them as is in boiling water (still sealed) or remove them and cut them off the cob. Came in handy at Easter when I realized that I didn't have any corn other than ears. Last year I saved some of the cobs and boiled them making juice for whatever (liquid in corn, soups, etc). Even considered making a batch of corn cob jelly.

The paper bags were for the unshucked corn – the shucks and silk insulate the ears from freezer burn. If I were freezing it shucked I would vac seal for sure.

Oh Dear, You can just serve the cut corn as a side with butter, you can make chowder, add it to muffin and pancake batter, it always goes well in soups and stews. Freezing it on the ear takes up a lot of freezer space. It cans well. You can dry it and feed it to a goose and then eat the goose.
