Where in the heck do you live that has corn ready to harvest, Mexico, South America?
I live in the heart of corn country in CA Delta region, this is the way my Nona saved corn for the winter months in the freezer.
She would boil a 2 gallon stock pot full of water, in the water she would add and dissolve 1 cup of non iodized salt and 1 cup of white sugar. Then she would blanch the ears of corn for 20 to 30 seconds, then straight into an ice bath that had 1/2 a can of salt to make the water damn near freezing cold.
I vividly remember this step because she would make me stir in the salt by hand to dissolve it. She would leave them in the salt bath for a few minutes, then rinse them in fresh water. Then lay them out on a towel to dry them off before freezing them.
I still do it this way today because you can't tell it was frozen once you cook or grill them, at least I can't.
I freeze them in a paper grocery sack, then once they are frozen I take them out and vacuum seal them 4 cobs per bag, to use during the winter months. I used to have her old wooden corn slicer/creamer, which sounds like the same type that you have. Thieves stole a box out of my garage when we were moving, and it was in there. Could you post up a pic of your slicer for me? I need to replace mine.
Thanks.
