About freezing corn, my mother did it both ways: 1) boil the corn briefly, then cut the corn off the cob & freeze it in bags, or 2) blanch the corn on the cob very, very briefly, and freeze the whole ear, cob & all. If you leave the corn on the cob, you want to use that up quicker, because I don't think it lasted as well as the cut-off corn.
