Canning Corn - Cream Style
Quantity: An average of 20 pounds (in husks) of weet corn is needed per canner load of 9 pints. A bushel weighs 35 pounds and yields 12 to 20 pints--an average of 2-1/4 pounds per pint.
Quality: Select ears containing slightly immature kernels, or of ideal quality for eating fresh.
Procedure: Husk corn, remove silk, and wash ears. Blanch ears 4 minutes in boiling water. Cut corn from cob at about the center of kernel. Scrape remaining corn from cobs with a table
knife.
Hot pack--To each quart of corn and scrapings,
add two cups of boiling water. Heat to boiling. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt to each jar, if desired. Fill pint jar with hot corn mixture, leaving 1-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process according to the
recommendations in Table 1 or Table 2 depending on method of canning used.
