Wash your corn.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. (Do not add salt to the water unless you don’t mind tough corn on the cob).
Use tongs to place each corn on the cob into the boiling water.
Let the corn boil for approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove the corn from the boiling water and immediately place in a large bowl of ice water.
Shock corn in cold water for 4 to 5 minutes.
Remove the corn cobs from the cold water and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Allow to air dry for 30 to 40 minutes.
Evenly place the dried corn cobs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Ensure that the medium ears of corn are placed on a separate tray to the small ears of corn.
Place the baking tray into the freezer and allow to freeze for 3 to 4 hours.
Transfer the frozen corn on the cobs into vacuum freezer bags.
Label the freezer bags with the current date and store for up to 8 months.
Notes
If you want to freeze fresh corn but not keeping the kernels on the cob, after putting the corn in cold water, slice kernels from the cob and then freeze.
