Enjoy your homegrown or farmers market corn year round with canning.
Husk the corn, remove corn silks, and cut out any damaged spots. You may want to do this outside, as it is messy. Rinse the cobs in clean water. Blanch if desired.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt per pint jar, 1 teaspoon per quart jar. The salt is for seasoning, so you can skip it if you need to avoid sodium.
Pack the corn loosely into hot jars, leaving 1-inch headspace. Don’t shake the corn down or pack it in.
Ladle boiling water over the corn, leaving 1-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and wipe the rims clean. Screw on your canning lids, and load into your pressure canner.
Pressure can pints for 55 minutes and quarts for 1 hour and 25 minutes at 10 pounds pressure, adjusting if needed for altitude or canner type.
Clean the corn and cut the kernels from the cob, but don’t scrape the cobs. Measure corn, water and salt (if desired) into a large pot.
Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 cup water for each pint of corn kernels, or 1 teaspoon salt and 2 cups boiling water for each quart of corn kernels. Bring the corn mix to a boil, and then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Ladle hot corn and water mix into jars, leaving 1-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and wipe the rims clean. Screw on your canning lids, and load into your pressure canner.
Pressure can pints for 55 minutes and quarts for 1 hour and 25 minutes at 10 pounds pressure, adjusting if needed for altitude or canner type. Proceed as above with canning.
When processing time is done, turn off the heat and allow your canner to naturally return to zero pressure. Remove the weight and le the canner rest 5-10 minutes before opening. The rest time gives the bubbling in the jars time to settle, so the water doesn’t boil out of the jars.
Open the canner, tilting the lid away from you to avoid the hot steam. Let the jars rest another 5-10 minutes in the canner.
Use your jar lifter to remove the jars from the canner, and place them on a kitchen towel on the counter away from drafts. Allow to cool completely, 12-24 hours. Remove rings and test seals. Wipe up any spills, date, label, and store in a cool, dark location.
For best quality, use within 18 months.
