Try a New Recipe Tuesday- September 11

It is time again for our weekly linkup!  I look forward each week to all of the delicious recipes that will be shared.  Of course, this is also a day to never, ever forget.  Let us all take a moment of our time today to remember and reflect, not only the horrific events of this day that forever changed our lives, but those who lost their lives and the heroic sacrifices of those who tried in vain to save countless others.

Ok, back to our happy recipe share!  :-)

We have been doing lot of canning here.  This past weekend, my husband and I found a local farm that picks their corn about 3-4 times a day (so it is VERY fresh).  We bought a bushel (50 ears) and are having fun canning them.  Ok, I guess we're canning geeks, because we are really enjoying all of our canning.  So far, we have done carrots, corn, peas and peaches.  :-)

Here is the "recipe" for our corn canning:

start with ears of corn


remove corn (this can be very tricky.  We find it is much easier when we find ripe and mature corn)


load it into clean and sanitized jars



fill with boiling water and place lid and ring on jar


place into pressure canner for 55 minutes at 10 pounds of pressure

and enjoy fresh corn for many months to come!  :-)

Great idea to can it. I live in an area that has many corn fields. I will have to think about doing this also. Thank you for adding this to my Our Favorite Things Link Party.

Thanks a lot for hosting Lisa! I love corn and enjoy it a number of ways. Today is indeed a very important day. We must never forget what happened and the lives lost in the terrorist attack.
