A few pointer that you may want to incorporate when making corncob jelly. Use cobs from dried shelled field corn, it will have a molasses like flavor. Also, I use a reusable coffee filter as a strainer. Once strainer it, put the juice in quart jars, let it cool then put it in the refrigerator for a couple days. The little particals will settle out and you will have beautiful translucent juice. I like using cobs from corn that has red cobs, like Hickory King, to produce a jelly about the same color as your, that is so translucent that you can see through it. I actually made a video of the process.
Thank you for putting the recipe in comment section!!! LOVE THAT! Actually doing this jelly today. I have pressure canned for years but believe it or not I have NEVER water bathed anything so this is my first water bathing project.
You are so welcome! I try to remember to always include the recipe. If I ever forget, just ask and I will post it to you and add it to the description.
Oh, I made Apple Butter from your recipe of the other day and it turned out the best I have ever made. The only change I made was I added some ginger to the spices. (smile)
Oh I can't wait to try these. So pretty. Love the lil squaty jars.... too cute. I was wondering how you store your rings. Looked like you had them hanging under your cabinet for easy access..... genius!
for storage, I cut a couple of coat hangers and made a ring out of them to hang in my hall closet. When I am getting ready to can, I have a 3-bar swinging towel rack that I slide my rings onto for quick access that keeps them off the counter. I am in a very small kitchen (the counter space you see me working on is about it) so I go vertical with everything possible to keep the counter as clear as possible.
This looks really yummy. I was wondering if you need to have that amount of corn cobs to make this jelly? Also, what do you do with the remaining corn juice? Can you not measure out the amount of corn juice you end up with and adjust the other ingredients to reflect the amount of juice? Also, you don't say how you make the calcium water. Thanks for your reply. 😊
It's good. I use it like honey on breads and in teas and hot cereals. I haven't tried baking with it, but now that you have mentioned it, I think I might give it a try.
Recipes are always in the description Corn cobs to make juice 4 cups corn juice 2 Tablespoons lemon juice 4 teaspoons calcium water 4 teaspoons Pomona's pectin 1 1/2 cups sugar (or sweetener of choice) Yellow food coloring (optional) Cover corn cobs with water and simmer for 3 hours to make corn juice. Strain through muslin or jelly bag to remove any sediments. Combine sweetener and pectin until thoroughly mixed together. In a heavy bottom saucepan, combine corn juice, lemon juice, calcium water, and food coloring. Bring to a boil. Stir in sweeter/pectin. Return to boil, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute and test (spoon test) for consistency. Waterbath process 15 minutes.
I have found for truly sugar free Pomonas works best. You can use any pectin, following the instructions for it... the low sugar pectins still require some sugar to jell
As soon as my corn comes in I’m canning and I’m going to make jelly!
I love my corn cob jelly!! It is one of my favorites, and can be very versatile... I also use it for honey in hot tea during the winter.

This looks so good and yes I will definitely try this. I've never heard of this before waste not want not.
It is delicious!! it really does taste almost like honey.

Wonderful! I am so glad it was helpful!! I haven't added ginger before, but might try some in my next batch.
Oh my goodness!! This is amazing and sooo beautiful!! Thank you! I've always wondered how you make it so now that I know I may try it!
You are so welcome!
I can't wait to try this!
Hope you like it!

My pleasure!

I've never heard of this before. How is it used? Is it like jelly on bread or can it be used in baking or ways like honey? Great video.

I'm trying really hard to imagine what this tastes like. I bet it's good on cornbread.
love love this recipe 😋 here we call it pour man's honey..lol
I have never heard it called that, but it definitely tastes like honey!!
Where is the recipe? This looks so good
Recipes are always in the description
Corn cobs to make juice
4 cups corn juice
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
4 teaspoons calcium water
4 teaspoons Pomona's pectin
1 1/2 cups sugar (or sweetener of choice)
Yellow food coloring (optional)
Cover corn cobs with water and simmer for 3 hours to make corn juice. Strain through muslin or jelly bag to remove any sediments.
Combine sweetener and pectin until thoroughly mixed together.
In a heavy bottom saucepan, combine corn juice, lemon juice, calcium water, and food coloring. Bring to a boil.
Stir in sweeter/pectin. Return to boil, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute and test (spoon test) for consistency.
Waterbath process 15 minutes.
Can you use a different pectin and do you have to use the calcium?
I have found for truly sugar free Pomonas works best. You can use any pectin, following the instructions for it... the low sugar pectins still require some sugar to jell
Do you have to strain it?
I always do because there are tiny corn bits in it.
I can’t see the recipe… can you repost!
Never mind I found it
