INSTRUCTIONS
Quantity: An average of 31-1/2 pounds (in huss) of sweet corn is needed per
canner load of 7 quarts; an average of 20 pounds is needed per canner load
of 9 pints. A bushel weighs 35 pounds and yields 6 to 11 quarts--an average
of 4-1/2 pounds per quart.
Quality: Select ears containing slightly immature kernels or of ideal
quality for eating fresh. Canning of some sweeter varieties or too immature
kernels may cause browning. Can a small amount, check color and flavor
before canning large quantities.
Procedure: Husk corn, remove silk, and wash. Blanch 3 minutes in boiling
water. Cut corn from cob at about three-fourths the depth of kernel.
Caution: Do not scrape cob.
Hot pack--To each clean quart of kernels in a saucepan, add 1 cup of hot
water, heat to boiling and simmer 5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of salt per
quart to the jar, if desired. Fill jars with corn and cooking liquid,
leaving 1-inch headspace.

shake or press down. Add 1 teaspoon of salt per quart to the jar, if
desired.
