Corn is never as delicious as it is during those first precious hours off the stalk.But all is not lost is you aren't in a corn patch right now. Here's some tips on getting the most out of corn:.Look for ears that are heavy. Weight can mean the center hasn't been eaten away by bugs or fungus.Look for moist, bright green husks clutching tightly to the ear and healthy (not dry) silk protruding at the top.Corn is always best eaten the day you buy it. But it will stay tasty for a couple days, stored in husks in plastic bags.Load up on corn when it's at its peak freshness, then freeze it in plastic bags for those cold, corn-free days of winter.Blanch the corn for about 10 minutes in boiling water. Then quickly shock it in ice water.When it cools, cut the kernels from the cobs, and fill up zipper bags, removing as much air as possible
