CANNING OF CORN

 CORN CANNING

My brother love corn in wrap and other some recipes. Some people freeze the corn to preserve them and some people store then by canning. But in both ways home preserve corn taste better than the store-bought sweet corn.

How To Corn Canning

Ingredients:

1) Fresh corns

2) Salt ( It's optional but most of the people add canning salt to enhance the taste)

Supplies:

1) Pressure Canner. 

2) kettle for boiling the water.

3) Large Stockpot.

4) Sheet or bucket for catch the corn kernels.

5) 2 girls or boys for husk corn( it's optional but it's a time saver).

6) Jars, seals and rings.

7) Canning funnel, jar lifter and lid lifter

8) Ladle and bubble tool

Procedure:

1) Start to boil your water

2) Put corns in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes and then remove.

3) Cool them immediately in the sink or in a cold water bowl.

4) Do not cook the corns fully. Just blanch them because this is a easier way to cut  the corns cob.

5) Cut the kernels from the cob. It's a little bit messy task but try to don't make your kitchen messy and you can cut kernels outside of the kitchen.

6) before cutting make sure cobs will be cold fully.

7) You can use the sheet to catch the kernels but you can also use a large flat dish.

8) Use electric knife because it works good.

9) Corn stripper is also so good to cut off the kernels from the cob. You can save your time by using corn stripper.

10) After this, go for get ready your pressure canner and canning jars.

11) Add salt in the jars (1 tsp for per quart).

12) Pack the kernels in the clean jars.

13) Fill the jars, be sure corns corns cover with boiling water, leaving 1-inch headspace and then wipe the rims of your jars.

For canning the corn you can use both methods( Hot pack or Raw pack).

Hot pack: 

Cook for 5 minutes then pack in jars, top off with cooking water, leaving 1- inch headspace.

Raw pack: 

Pack lightly into the hot jars. Add boil water and leave 1-inch headspace.

14) Finally add screw bands, place the lids on the jars and then place in pressure canner.

 Pressure canner process:( Hot/Raw)

• For Quarts: process for 1 hour 30 minutes.
• For Pints: process for 50 to 55 minuities.  

Be sure your pressure canner work properly.
