I don’t knowing you will see this since it’s been a year since you posted it. I have a question. How do you prepare your corn prior to canning? It looks like you cut it off the cob raw. Is that correct? Then when you add the corn to your jars they almost sound frozen. Are they? I just canned 14 pints of corn in my Presto and I’m very disappointed with the results. Your video is so helpful. I just needed some clarification on corn prep before canning. Thank you in advance.
Hello, yes we see you. We took some time to separate the corn from the cobs. Then put the large bowl of fresh corn into the fridge. We just lay a towel on top until we had the jars and water ready. We poured the water in the jars. The corn was never frozen. Just raw. The corn cooks fully during the canning process. We are trying to limit salt intake. So the pressure canning is the safe option. Can you tell us why your corn disappointed you. I’d like to understand what is going on. I promise you. This is a learning curve. But once you catch it. You will be off to the races. Thank you for being a part of our Chanel.
Here is my long, sad story. The first 3 dozen ears of corn we followed the following steps: Blanched the ears for 3 minutes Put them in an ice bath for 5 minutes Cut off kernels Heated jars Added corn to jars Filled with boiling water Then followed the Presto directions for 55 minutes of pressure canning. When we removed the jars the corn was brownish. The second batch we tried, these were our steps after watching you video: Cut kernels off cob Add to heated jars Add boiling water Proceeded to canning instructions After cool down, pulled jars out and unfortunately corn looked the same. Method 1 I used the water that I blanched the corn-in to add to my jars. Thought maybe too much sugar and the corn caramelized a bit? Method 2 I did not add any salt. Could that have made a difference? My kernels didn’t look as large as yours. When you added the corn to your jars they seemed to be “harder” than mine. That’s why I thought yours were froze first. Mine were soft. I would like to send you pictures.
lovely video😀
