10 Delicious Corn Recipes, including homemade creamed corn, how to make corn fritters, fresh corn salads, and even how to freeze corn on the cob.

I actually look forward to corn season when I can buy fresh ears at a low price and around here in WA, even find them. I pretty much refuse to buy the frozen ears because they are just not the same. I admit that I like to “doctor” up my corn on the cob so much so that it’s almost a treat rather than something that used to resemble a fine piece of produce, but I can’t resist it!

There was this place that I used to see in my hometown on one of the very busiest streets that had a large field for growing corn. From my understanding, they bought the property long before it was a busy there, and I loved watching the corn grow in the Montana sun every year. My mom would always say it will be “knee high by the 4th of July” and it almost always was.

How to Freeze Fresh Corn

You can freeze fresh corn on the cob or off the cob very easily. To freeze it on the cob, you will need to shuck it, and it works best to cut it in half. Make sure to also blanch it before freezing to preserve quality. Freeze this way or cut it off the cob and freeze with the following technique.

Using a bunt pan with a hole in the center, place the stem in the hole and carefully cut it off the cob with a sharp knife. Boil some water and place the corn in it to blanch. Add a pinch of salt if desired. Place it in an ice bath and then drain it well. Place it on a single layer on a cookie sheet. Freeze in bags or other containers making sure to mark the date.

If you find yourself with a great deal of ears to work with, I scoured the internet and especially Pinterest to find you some amazing corn recipes. From sweet to savory, there is something for everyone!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
