Corn Cob Jelly
4 cups of water
12 cobs of corn with kernels cut off
1 package powdered pectin
3 cups of sugar
yellow food coloring
In a pot, place the 12 cobs and 4 cups of water. Boil for about 20 minutes. Discard cobs and filter the liquid through a fine sieve or cheesecloth. You want just the corn milk..no solids. Return the liquid (3 cups worth) to the heat and return to a rolling boil. Stir in the pectin and return to rolling boil for 1 minute. Then add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Return to rolling boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and skim off any foam. Add 3-4 drops of yellow food color for asthetics. Ladel jelly into hot jars leaving 1/4" of headspace. Top with heated lid and tighten ring as tightly as possible. Turn jar upside down for five minutes. After five minutes turn right side up and wait for them to cool. You'll hear them seal. Any jars that don't seal should be placed in fridge and are good for 3-4 weeks.
It tastes like a mild sweetened honey. On warm homemade bread...oh it's just heavnely!!!
