Corn Cob Jelly
Ingredients
* 12 ears of old fashion field corn (I use organic sweet corn)
* 4 cups water (use a little more water to ensure you have enough)
* 1 box powdered fruit pectin
* 4 cups sugar
* yellow food coloring ( I do not use)
Directions
1.Cut corn kernels from cobs and reserve for another recipe.
2.In a large pot, place cobs and water, bring to a boil.
3.Boil for 10 minutes.
4.Remove and discard cobs; strain liquid through cheesecloth.
5.Liquid should measure 3 cups.
6.Add additional water if necessary.
7.Return to the pot and stir in pectin.
8.Bring to a full rolling boil.
9.Add sugar and bring back to a boil and boil for one minute.
10.Remove from heat and skim foam and add a few drops of food coloring.
11.Pour into hot jelly jars.
12.Place canning lids that have been preheated in hot water on jars and tighten rings as tight as possible.
13. Process in waterbath for 10 minutes for altitude under 1000'
This takes sometimes 2 weeks to set, it is a soft set so you may want to use a little more pectin.
