Ingredients
Fresh Corn
20 lbs (Husked and silk removed)
Water
11 cups (Boiling)
Salt
9 teaspoons (Optional)
Instructions
1
Begin by sterilizing 18 pint jars. You can do this either by boiling them for 10 minutes or baking them at 225°F for 20 minutes.
2
Simmer the lids and bands in a pot of hot water, ensuring the water is not boiling.
3
Carefully husk the corn, removing all silk and debris. Rinse the ears thoroughly under cold water.
4
Blanch the cleaned corn ears in boiling water for 4 minutes, then remove and cool them slightly.
5
Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut the corn kernels off the cob, cutting close to the center of the kernels to maximize yield.
6
Scrape any remaining kernels from the cob using a table knife to extract as much corn as possible.
7
In a large pot, combine the cut corn and the scraped corn, adding 2 cups of boiling water for each quart of corn mixture.
8
Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil and let it simmer for an additional 3 minutes.
9
If using salt, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to each pint jar now.
10
Carefully ladle the hot corn mixture into the prepared pint jars, leaving a 1-inch headspace at the top.
11
Wipe the rims of the jars to remove any residue, then place the sterilized lids on top and apply the bands until they are fingertip-tight.
12
Process the jars in a pressure canner for 85 minutes at 10 lb pressure (for altitudes 0-1000 ft) or at 15 lb pressure for altitudes above 1000 ft.
13
Allow the jars to cool completely before storing them in a cool, dark place.
