As I have no knowledge of canning and/or freezing fruits & vegetables, it was suggested by the owner of a fruit & veg. where I purchased white corn on the cob to cut approx. 2" off of the top and cut and leave 1/2" at the bottom leaving the husk on and place in freezer bag. When removing ears after being in freezer to use, shuck while frozen and the silks will come off much easier. I found this to work and have never had a bad taste to any of my corn.
