Tips and Warnings
There are no special requirements for preserving corn. Almost all varieties are suitable, but it is best to choose sweet corn, which has a rich flavor. The most important criterion is the age of the corn—it should be ripe but not too old, so the kernels are not hard. However, this is not a critical factor. Overripe corn simply takes longer to cook.
Canned corn can be stored for 3 years in a place where the temperature does not exceed 25 degrees Celsius and the relative humidity of the air does not exceed 75%. Once opened, a can of corn should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than three days.
Simple Canned Corn Recipe
To make this, you'll need minimal ingredients:
- corn;
- salt — 1 tsp per jar;
- water.
Preparation:
- Clean the corn cobs from the green husks and rinse thoroughly.
- There are two methods for pre-processing the corn for canning:
- Place the corn cobs in boiling water for 2 minutes, then remove and carefully separate the kernels from the cob;
- Cut the kernels off the cob and cook in boiling water for 5 minutes.
- Place the prepared corn kernels into jars, add salt, and pour hot water over them, leaving 2-2.5 cm of space at the top.
- Seal with lids and place the jars in the autoclave. Process the corn at 105°C for 1 hour.
