Meats and Sausages
Corn - Whole Kernel
Select ears containing slightly immature kernels or of ideal quality for eating fresh. Canning of some sweeter varieties or too immature kernels may cause browning. Can a small amount, check color and flavor before canning large quantities.
Procedure: Husk corn, remove silk, and wash. Blanch 3 minutes in boiling water. Cut corn from cob at about 3/4 the depth of kernel.
CAUTION Do not scrape cob.
Hot Pack - To each clean quart of kernels in a saucepan, add 1 cup of hot water, heat to boiling and simmer 5 minutes. Fill hot jars with corn and cooking liquid, leaving 1-inch headspace. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to pints, 1 teaspoon to quarts, if desired. Fill jars with hot water to 1 inch from top. Remove air bubbles, adjust lids and process.
Raw Pack - Fill hot jars with corn, leaving 1-inch headspace. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to pints, 1 teaspoon to quarts, if desired. Fill jars with hot water to 1 inch from top. Remove air bubbles, adjust lids and process.
