After I'd filled my dehydrator, I still had most of the corn left. Corn gets less tasty the longer after it's picked. So I didn't want to wait all week to get it dehydrated one day at a time. So I looked up corn canning instructions. I chose a raw pack method because it was less steps. Again, I wished I had an electric knife! But I did get it all cut off. I put it in the jars, added salt (1/2 tsp for pints, 1 tsp for quarts), added hot water, & processed in the pressure canner. You can find charts online, but for my altitude I did 15 lbs pressure, 85 min for quarts & 55 min for pints. I had 7 quart jars and 15 pints (this was 50 lbs of corn, after filling 3 dehydrators & freezing about 8 cups). This was pretty simple & looks wonderful! I think it will taste like summer when we eat it this winter!
I have an excellent frozen corn recipe I posted last year. You can see it here:
