Corn Cob Jelly

How do you like your corn?  Popped?  On the cob?  Boiled?  Steamed?  Spicy?  With crawfish?  While all those are good, how about one more - Corn Cob Jelly.  Yes, you read that right.  Corn Cob Jelly.  It's a smooth, sweet as honey jelly that is made with corn cob juice.  Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds.

Start with a dozen ears of corn...

Yum...corn on the cob

Slice the corn off the cob...I now have 11 cups of corn in the freezer.

Boil the cobs, then strain to get the corn cob juice...

Cook the juice with sugar, lemon juice, and fruit pectin and voila...

Corn Cob Jelly...isn't it a pretty color?  And it really does taste as sweet as honey.  Actually I think it's a little sweeter.  No corn after taste was reported from anyone that taste tested it.  Well, there was that one person who said she got a very subtle taste of it at the very end.

Until next time, keep on jammin!
