CORN--CREAM STYLE
QUANTITY: An average of 20 pounds (in husks) of sweet
corn is needed per canner load of 9 pints. A bushel
weighs 35 pounds and yields 12 to 20 pints -- an average
of 2-1/4 pounds per pint.
QUALITY: Select ears containing slightly immature
kernels, or of ideal quality for eating fresh.
PROCEDURE: Husk corn, remove silk, and wash ears.
Blanch ears 4 minutes in boiling water. Cut corn from
cob at about the center of kernel. Scrape remaining corn
from cobs with a table knife.
Hot pack -- To each quart of corn and scrapings, add two
cups of boiling water. Heat to boiling. Add 1/2
teaspoon salt to each jar, if desired. Fill pint jar
with hot corn mixture, leaving 1-inch headspace. Adjust
lids and process.
