The corn in the picture was Kandy Korn. It's kind of late, but seems to do okay here in most years. To get it ready to can, I just shuck it, cut it off the cob, pack it into jars, add a tsp of salt and pour boiling water over it. It's then sealed and pressure canned for 55 minutes for pints. That's it. Easy and quick. I got 8 pints and a half out of two baskets of corn. Now if the rest will continue ripening!!!!! Jackie Lyn,

Your corn looks beautiful! I'd been wondering how the corn freeze turned out! I wish I could pluck an ear from you cart right through tha computer screen! LOL! What variety did you plant- it is so large- mine seldom get that big. I hope you will talk more about what you do to get the corn ready for canning - I haven't tackled that veggie yet! I never seem to have enough to make canning it worthwhile! Jackie- I hope you are feeling better!
