Corn— Home-Canned
to Keep!
“Corn, a favorite food of man,
beast, and bacteria, is the victim of
defense propaganda and I am not
talking about war." Gladys Kim-
brough. Home Service Director of
Ball Brothers Company, made the
above statement and went on to ex-
plam. “Persons who refuse to take
the time and trouble to understand
corn, defend their canning failures
by claiming that it refuses to keep.
The truth is, corn is more than will-
ing to be canned, but is doomed to
spoilage unless right tactics are
used, because it has no acid to pro-
tect it against the invasion of bac-
teria. Tactics’ Why," says Miss
Kimbrough, "they can be summed
up in one sentence: i. e., learn what
is to be done, begin at the right
time, keep things moving, and turn
on the heat.”

The first thing to be done is to
get jars, lids, rubbers, and canner
ready. If you have no pressure cook-
er, get along with a water-bath can-
ner. Examine every jar and lid to
see that it is in good condition—re-
member glass top seals and two-
piece metal vacuum seal caps won’t
work unless the top edges of the
ijars are perfect. Wash everything
clean; cover jars, glass lids and
zinc caps with luke-warm water and
put on the stove to heat. Cover
vacuum seal lids and rubbers with g
boiling water and leave until need- 5
ed. When everything is ready, 8
gather the corn—bring in no more
than needed for one canner full.
Keep in mind that canning too much
too late is a common cause of spoil-
. age. Place the corn on a board
! and use a strong sharp knife to cut
the husks (shucks to you in the Mid-
dle West and South) off at each end
just where the corn begins and ends.
There shouldn’t be any worms if
, you have followed Victory garden
I directions, but if there are worms
in the tassel end, cut deep enough
leave them with the husks. The
husks will come off easily and bring
most of the silks with them.
Examine every ear of corn and
use only those having plump, glossy,
juice-filled kernels. Remove all
silks; rinse the corn and cut it from
the cob. One or more cuttings may
be made, but scrapings should not
be used unless processing can be
done in a pressure cooker, because
the scrapings make a thick mass
that heats through slowly. Cover
the corn with boiling water, using
about half as much water as corn;
cook five minutes; then pour imme-
diately into clean, hot jars. A gen-
erous amount of water helps the
corn heat through quickly and aids
in preventing its sugar from carmel-
• izing and causing a brownish color.
Add one teaspoon salt to the quart
and seal jars according to manu-
facturer’s directions. Then put into
the canner and process.
If possible, use pint jars, as they
heat through more rapidly — the
quicker the jars can be heated
through, the more certain the de-
struction of bacteria. Process pints
and quarts 70 minutes at 10 pounds
pressure or by boiling 3% hours in
hot-water bath. Remove the jars
from the canner as promptly as pos-
sible after processing; finish sealing are vital to our men on the war

twelve hours in order to make sure
they are sealed. To do this, re-
move bands from glass top seals
and metal vacuum seal caps (leave
the bands off when the jars are put
away). Test the glass top seals by
pulling gently on the lids with the
finger tips. Vacuum seals are tested
by pressing down on them with the
fingers—if sealed, they won't move
under this pressure. "Lightning"

down and watching for leaks. There
won’t be any leaks if instructions
are followed and there won’t be any
spoilage if you keep in mind that
Vigilance means Victory. Further-
more, you will never know how good
canned corn can be until you have
tasted your own home-canned brand.
